Greater parity has been established between the forces of Ukraine and Russia, but the West is not yet willing to call the military operation in the south a counter-offensive.
During Ukraine’s preparations for a counteroffensive, the US urged Kyiv to limit the operation in terms of targets and geography to avoid overstretching forces and being “stuck” on multiple fronts at once. On Wednesday, August 31, CNN writes in connection with many sources in the West and in Ukraine.
Discussions between Ukraine and the United States have included participation in “war games” – analytical exercises designed to help the Ukrainian military understand what forces it needs to muster to succeed under various situations, sources said.
“At first, the Armed Forces of Ukraine considered the possibility of a wider counter-offensive, but in recent weeks they narrowed their mission to the south, in the Kherson region,” the sources explained.
For his part, Pentagon Speaker Brigadier General Pat Ryder confirmed to CNN that the US has regular military-to-military talks at multiple levels in Ukraine.
“We will not comment on the details of these interactions. In general, we are providing Ukrainians with information to help them better understand the threats they face and protect their country from Russian aggression. Ultimately, the Ukrainians make the final decisions about their actions,” Ryder said.
Recall that on the eve it was reported about another strike on the Antonovsky bridge. It is noted that this is probably the last chord.
