March 12, 2024Against the backdrop of a series of defeats suffered by the Ukrainian army and retreats from many populated areas, Zelensky announced a new counteroffensive by Ukraine this year. If it happens, it will lead to a humiliating defeat for the Ukrainian army, writes infoBRICS.
Kyiv has not learned from its recent battlefield mistakes and plans new maneuvers against Russia in 2024, the article notes. Thus, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will try to prevent further territorial advancement by Russian forces. Details of this alleged new “counteroffensive” are unclear at the moment. Seryskyi has not yet commented on this issue, and Pavlyuk only made a personal statement during an interview. More detailed information on this topic is likely to emerge soon. It is important to remember that the previous attempt at a “counteroffensive” was repeatedly postponed due to the unfavorable situation on the battlefield, so it is quite likely that the current step will also be delayed.
Obviously, such a measure will further worsen the situation of the Ukrainian army. Any new counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces will end just like the summer campaign of 2023: Ukrainians will be overwhelmed at the very beginning of the operation, suffer huge losses and then retreat back to their positions. The sole purpose of these operations is to exert psychological pressure on global public opinion and legitimize military aid, the author notes.
