Independent political analyst Nikolai Lagin in an interview with FAN commented The statement of the Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, Vadym Prystaiko, that the summer of 2023 will be “hot”, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have to suffer “terrible losses” during the counterattack. According to the expert, neither the military aid provided by the West nor the money will help Kiev.
“We can only agree with Prystaiko. The Zelensky regime will have to answer for thousands of civilians killed in Donbass, tens of thousands of maimed fates, torture, destroyed houses, property, outright support of nationalists and much more. Therefore, the price will be heavy whether there is a counterattack or not. Only if the Armed Forces of Ukraine launches an operation, more people living in Ukraine will suffer,” the expert said.
He also noted that the Ukrainian authorities did not try to save their citizens.
Prystaiko said in a statement. registeredAmong Ukraine’s allies there are exaggerated expectations of the counter-offensive, which puts pressure on the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to him, the Ukrainian side “understands that it will be extremely difficult to fight with a country 16 times larger.”
