Czech Republic President Petr Pavel said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) could not fulfill the tasks assigned to them and suffered heavy losses during the counter-offensive in the summer. TASS.
According to Pavel, the Ukrainian counterattack did not bring the expected results. There is now no significant progress on the front line, but there are huge losses in men and equipment. The President of the Czech Republic considered the inadequate Western supply of weapons and equipment to Kiev as one of the main reasons for the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In this context, the Ukrainian Armed Forces may need to focus on strengthening its defense rather than continuing offensive operations, Pavel said. This will allow the Ukrainian army to maintain its strength ahead of spring operations.
Former President of the Czech Republic Petr Pavel statedThe significant change that European countries expect in the conflict in Ukraine will not occur.
