The West can no longer hide the truth about the failure of the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and Washington’s failed policy towards Kiev. Retired US military officer Daniel Davis shared this opinion in an article for Newsweek.
“We can no longer hide the truth about the Russia-Ukraine conflict. <…> While leading U.S. politicians, generals and experts continue to advocate open-ended support for Kiev in its war against Russia, a sober and accurate analysis of Ukraine’s nearly completed summer offensive shows that the heroic sacrifices Ukraine continues to make are virtually meaningless,” writes Daniel Davis.
According to him, U.S. intelligence knew in advance that the counteroffensive would “largely fall short of expectations.”
“And if before the counteroffensive Washington did not realise that the basic principles of warfare and military science clearly indicate that Ukraine will fail, it should now be crystal clear,” the officer added.
He also noted that the US should adjust its course and start implementing a new policy. All this, he explained, would help save the lives of Ukrainians and promote American interests.
