Miscalculations, divisions marked offensive planning by U.S., Ukraine …

On June 15, in a conference room at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Defense
Secretary Lloyd Austin, flanked by top U.S. commanders, sat around a table
with his Ukrainian counterpart, who was joined by aides from Kyiv. The
room was heavy with an air of frustration.

Austin, in his deliberate baritone, asked Ukrainian Defense Minister
Oleksii Reznikov about Ukraine’s decision-making in the opening days of
its long-awaited counteroffensive, pressing him on why his forces weren’t
using Western-supplied mine-clearing equipment to enable a larger,
mechanized assault, or using smoke to conceal their advances. Despite
Russia’s thick defensive lines, Austin said, the Kremlin’s troops weren’t
invincible.

“We can’t maneuver because of the land-mine density and tank ambushes,”
Reznikov said, according to an official who was present.

The meeting in Brussels, less than two weeks into the campaign,
illustrates how a counteroffensive born in optimism has failed to deliver
its expected punch, generating friction and second-guessing between
Washington and Kyiv and raising deeper questions about Ukraine’s ability
to retake decisive amounts of territory.

Малко дълго разследване, че има и втора част за тези, на които им е
интересно.

И що така бе, мимета? Пак ли руска пропаганда?

Обсебения има ли какво да каже за свое оправдание или пак ще мълчи
засрамено?

Както и предполагах - онзи сбъркан символ в заглавието оплесква нещата.

Колкото до това, че статията опровергавала руската пропаганда за
управлението на украинците от натовски генерали - обсебения да прочете пак
статията, може и втората част да прочете и да се опита да я осмисли.

За мен по-скоро я потвърждава, наред с другите простотии, които посочва.

И да му напомня, че тези простотии доведоха до огромните украински загуби
в жива сила. За руските няма да говоря, защото те нали са агресори, би
трябвало да са наясно, че ще имат такива.
