Ukraine manages to achieve the main military targets before the winter – Pentagon

The success of the defenders of Ukraine in dealing with the enemy was highly appreciated by the US Department of Defense.

Ukraine manages to achieve a number of major military goals, as well as strengthen its position in the fight against the occupying country on the eve of winter. This was said by Celeste Wallander, who oversees international security issues at the Pentagon, Reuters reports.

He drew attention to the recent efforts made by Ukraine in the Kherson region and the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.

“Ukraine now seems to be on track to achieve all three goals. Ukraine’s goal is to push back the Russian foothold on the west bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region,” the official said.

According to him, this would be “a big defeat for Russia”, as it would be a bigger obstacle to the Kremlin’s ambitions to seize Odessa.

“It becomes more difficult, and it gives Ukraine a better defensive position to ride out a likely slowdown in the most intense winter fighting,” Wallander said.

The advance south reflects tactics that have brought Kyiv major gains since early September in eastern Ukraine, where Ukrainian forces quickly overran territory, cutting off larger Russian forces from supplies and forcing they retreated.

Ukraine’s release of Liman last Friday “will have a major impact on Russia’s ability … to resupply and move troops across the … front line,” Wallander said.

It should be noted that the Pentagon has announced that the APU will be assisted by a new unified command based in Germany, which will be headed by a high-ranking US general.
