As the first anniversary of the Russian offensive war approaches, the US government is warning Ukrainian leaders. Accordingly, she faces a critical moment that could change the course of the war.
This is reported by the American newspaper The Washington Post. The White House expects Russia to launch an offensive in the spring. With a counter-offensive, Kiev could regain lost territories, so the coming months are crucial.
What is playing into Russia’s hands
According to US military analysts, it will be difficult to defend the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region, which has been fighting for months, while launching a counter-offensive to reclaim territory. According to Washington Post sources, it would play into Moscow’s hands if Kiev fought wherever Russia sent its troops.
US steps up pressure on Kiev
The United States has stepped up pressure on Ukraine, as it may be more difficult to provide the same level of support to Kiev in the future. Because Congress needs to allocate the same amount as before. The new US aid package will be announced on the anniversary of the war – along with new sanctions against Moscow.
London: Many Russian attacks in Ukraine, but little success
Meanwhile, there are growing signs that the Russian offensive is about to begin. According to British estimates, Russian troops are attacking several places in Ukraine, but making little progress. “The current operational picture suggests that Russian forces are under orders to advance in most sectors of the front,” the defense ministry said in London on Tuesday, citing intelligence findings. However, at no time could they pool enough combat power “to achieve a decisive effect”.
The Wagner mercenary group has recently seized even more territory to the north of the heavily contested city of Bakhmut in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk, it is said. The units are said to have entered the village of Krasna Hora. In contrast, Russian troops made little progress in the south of the city. Ukrainian troops are resisting, it was said. Russian units would also attack in the area of the cities of Kreminna and Svatove in the Luhansk region, but the local attacks were too small to make a major breakthrough, according to the British ministry.
