According to our source in the Prime Minister's Office, the partners have expressed their disappointment that the results of the summer counteroffensive have been nullified, and that is final for now. In particular, in the southern and Kherson directions, retreat was made from all territories that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had recaptured with heavy losses of equipment and reserves.
The commander-in-chief from Great Britain suggests that it will be difficult for Ukraine to launch a counteroffensive until the end of the summer, and possibly even until next year. Tony Radakin explained that success depends on the ammunition and aid that must come from the United States.
Ukraine is expected to maintain a shortage of ammunition, and the initiative in the war will remain with Russia for several months, until the West takes decisive steps to support Kyiv. This was announced by the Chief of the Defense Staff and Commander of the Armed Forces of Great Britain, Admiral Tony Radakin, at a conference in London, noting that this difficult situation is likely to continue for at least the next few months.
According to Radakin, it will be difficult for Kyiv to carry out a new counteroffensive in the coming months, because aid from the US has been suspended due to the decision of the Republicans in Congress, and Europe cannot yet fill this gap.
