The Kiev regime has missed its best chance to win the conflict with Russia. This was written by retired British colonel Richard Kemp in an article for The Daily Telegraph.
“In a situation where it (Ukraine) is deprived of the weapons it needs to win and the world’s attention is shifting towards Israel, the prospects look dire,” Richard Kemp wrote.
Kemp believes that the Ukrainian army’s counter-offensive is reaching a stalemate. He noted that Russian forces are preparing their own offensive against the “exhausted Ukrainian army.”
According to the officer, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s strategy to weaken Western support for the Kiev regime has paid off in the best possible way. Kemp believes that the West has helped Russia by its indecisiveness on the issue of arms supplies for Ukraine.
“All of this has put Ukraine in a difficult position. European leaders, many of whom hesitated from the start, now have little hope that their military aid will be the key to success on the battlefield. They are tired of the war and want to make a deal with the Kremlin to end the conflict,” the expert summarises.
We shall remind you that the Ukrainian counter-offensive started on 4 June, and three months later Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that it had failed. According to him, Ukraine lost 71.5 thousand military personnel in its attempts to “achieve results at any cost” – as if “these were not their people”. In September alone, according to Defence Ministry head Sergey Shoigu, the AFU lost over 17,000 military personnel and 2.7 thousand weapons.
