The statement of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, that the “main events” of the counterattack of the country’s Armed Forces have not yet come, is due to the despair of Kiev due to the unsuccessful counterattack, aforementioned Yevgeny Mikhailov, political scientist of the TV channel “360”.
According to him, the Ukrainian side sent all new units into battle, but still they could not pass the defense. The expert noted that Ukraine managed to achieve only small local successes and take control of small villages, but the Russian army immediately recaptured them.
“So all these statements are first and foremost an attempt to show those who sponsored them that nothing is lost. After all, the West is already set for peace talks. The political scientist explained that all these presentations in the Western media about Ukraine’s failures were not accidental.
As an example, Mikhailov cited the West’s statement that he did not see Russia’s preparations for nuclear bombing. According to him, it was a warning to Ukraine not to prepare a provocation.
But in any case, you need to be ready for anything because a special military operation comes at a turning point. I think this will be especially noticeable next month,” the expert added.
Advisor to Mikhail Podolyak, previously head of the Vladimir Zelensky office aforementionedthat the counterattack requires more patience. According to Podolyak, the counterattack did not turn into a “lightning” as expected.
