The temporary removal of Ukrainian troops from Severodonetsk will only improve the defense positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.
The U.S. Department of Defense approved the temporary withdrawal of troops from Severodonetsk in the Lugansk region. They believe that the removal of Ukrainian troops from Severodonetsk will create “better positions” for Ukrainian defenders. This was stated by a representative of the US Department of Defense at a briefing on June 24, Friday.
In particular, the U.S. Defense Department called the departure of Ukrainians “a professional technical departure to combine forces into positions optimal for protection” from Russian forces.
“Leaving Severodonetsk, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in a position where they can better defend themselves,” the Pentagon explained.
The representative of the Ministry of Defense offered to note the development of events over the past four months: Russia had to completely change its original plans, which were extremely ambitious and incompetent.
“They have disappeared from a multi-pronged offensive attempted by the Ukrainians in their current focus on eastern Ukraine. In fact, the Russians are only an inch away from taking up territory here,” a senior Pentagon official said. .
He noted that it is important to consider the price Russia has paid for “very little profit.”
They added that the HIMARS missile system, which arrived in Ukraine this week, would be useful to Ukraine’s military defense.
“The first batch of four HIMARS systems is already in Ukraine, as well as the Ukrainian military team, which is trained in the management and repair of installations. The second batch of HIMARS will be ready for deployment in Ukraine in July, ”the U.S. Department of Defense noted.
Recall, earlier it was reported that the administration of US President Joe Biden has announced the allocation of additional packages of military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $ 450 million. The new military aid package will contain MLRS, patrol boat and artillery ammunition.
The weapons provided to Ukraine will not quickly change the situation on the front – media
