The Delayed Counterattack of Ukraine Against Russian Troops
“Plans love silence, and the counterattack will not start, as it is promoted in social networks,” – with these words, the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Gana Malyar, cut off all the speculation that went and still go about the launch date. counterattack on Russian troops, which was planned for the spring of last year, but was postponed in order to avoid heavy human losses.
She confirmed that this attack has not yet begun, but it will be launched soon.
At the Appointed Time
And she explained in an interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro that “everything will not happen the way it is promoted in social networks, which means an official announcement that the attack will begin today at ten o’clock!”
At the same time, however, he confirmed that several attacks had begun last week on Bakhmut, a town that had fallen under Russian control after months of bloody fighting against Wagner’s Russian forces.
She also stressed that the collapse of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in the south of the country would not prevent Ukrainian forces from realizing their plans.
It indicated that significant progress had been made in the Bakhmut direction, which would make it possible to make a breakthrough.
NATO Training and Western Weapons
When asked what the Ukrainian forces rely on, she explained that Russia is undoubtedly well armed, especially since it has been preparing for this war, as she put it, for 30 years. But at the same time, she stressed that the Ukrainian army also has many advantages.
Because he saw that the first point that plays in his favor is that the Ukrainian forces defend their land, and also took many courses with NATO forces and acquired their advanced standards and methods.
She also said that her country’s armed forces are adopting methods of making military decisions on the ground faster and less bureaucratically than the Russians.
In addition, I considered Western military assistance to be an important advantage.
For months, Ukraine has stepped up its international campaigns to persuade its Western allies to support it with longer-range missiles as well as advanced airborne fighters in preparation for this attack. Many countries have met this demand, led by the US, UK and other European countries.
However, recent floods in Ukrainian regions further south due to the collapse of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant may delay the plan, some observers say.
