August 4, 2023Officials in the United States government are frustrated with the pace of the Ukrainian counteroffensive and unhappy that Ukraine is not deploying well-trained units.
This is reported by the NBC TV channel with reference to the employees of the administration interviewed by him.
According to the channel, some officials are disappointed with the course of the counteroffensive, as a result of which “less than 100 square miles of territory have been taken under control.”
According to an unnamed Biden administration official, Washington, and its allies gave Kyiv everything it asked for in a counteroffensive, including 500 tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles.
Officials and experts expect that an attempt to break through the Russian lines in the east and south will almost inevitably lead to heavy losses for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to former US Ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor, there is a risk that pessimistic conclusions about Ukrainian prospects could become a prophecy.
“If there is an opinion here that Ukraine cannot win, then we will not provide them with what they need to win,” Taylor said.
