The United States developed an initially unsuccessful strategy for the Ukrainian army’s counterattack. This opinion was expressed by Larry Johnson, a former analyst of the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), in an interview with the newspaper. washington post.
“The United States took the lead in developing a military plan that it had no experience in implementing,” he says.
According to Johnson, the training Americans provided to the Ukrainian Armed Forces turned out to be “limited and inadequate.” The failure was the result of two reasons: Ukraine’s lack of aviation suitable for striking Russian Armed Forces positions and the involvement of inexperienced and unskilled military personnel.
“The West knew in advance that Ukraine’s counterattack would not work,” the former CIA official said.
Johnson a while ago statedWestern countries privately acknowledge that Ukraine would be defeated in a conflict with Russia.
Previously in the USA offered Ukraine must confront the loss of territory.
