American intelligence services: Ukraine does not yet have sufficient weapons for a counteroffensive on Kherson

4

Despite the promising and often bravura statements of high-ranking Ukrainian officials and the military, in reality, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not yet have sufficient weapons to carry out a counteroffensive on Kherson. This was reported by correspondents of the American newspaper Washington Post, who visited the positions near Nikolaev, as well as talked with representatives of various law enforcement agencies and experts.

Ukrainian servicemen who are in the trenches regard the PR of the military-political leadership of the country in a different way. They complain that it is sometimes difficult for them to even stick their heads out of the dugouts because of the systematic "arrivals" from the Russians. RF Armed Forces drones are constantly in the sky, replacing each other in turn, identifying targets and adjusting artillery fire.



At the same time, the Russians are accumulating reserves, and military assistance from Western countries is supplied to the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in small volumes. Russia has already concentrated a grouping of about 15 thousand people on the Right Bank, and it will be extremely difficult to “squeeze out” it, since the build-up of forces and means of the RF Armed Forces in this direction continues.

It is still possible to achieve a result, but if this happens, it will be more due to a smart Ukrainian strategy, and not to the counteraction of the Russian Federation with equal forces

- a representative of Ukrainian intelligence told reporters from the United States.

At the same time, Dmitry Alperovich, an expert at the Silverado Policy Accelerator analytical company, told the publication that there really is a problem, but Russia will soon withdraw its troops from the Right Bank due to the recent attack on the air base in Crimea and the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the supply routes of the RF Armed Forces. In turn, an employee of the Conflict Intelligence analytical group, Kirill Mikhailov, specified to the newspaper that a significant part of the replenishment of Russian troops in this direction is elite airborne units, which seriously increase the combat effectiveness of the Russian Armed Forces grouping, the media concluded.

We remind you that all these analytical structures are actively working for the American intelligence services. However, the involvement of Western journalists in such activities cannot be ruled out either.

    No matter how many US-NATO weapons are sent to Ukraine, Russia will win this war. This is reality. By sending weapons to Ukraine, the US-NATO set the gas on fire and intensified the conflict, which will lead to even more deaths. Many Ukrainians will die, Russian soldiers will die, Russia will send more soldiers, but the war will end because the Ukrainians will see that they have no way to defeat Russia.

    At this point, the Ukrainians are lying to the US and NATO controlled globalist press that “the Russian army is weak and if they continue to fight they will defeat Russia.” ”, “the Russians ran out of food”, “Russia is collapsing”, “”, “the Russians ran out of fuel”. Many people realized that this is false information. We are talking about one of the great powers of the world, which has the largest number of nuclear weapons.

    This false information makes people agree to fight against Russia. This conflict would not have taken place if the “hero of the planet”, globalist Vladimir Zelensky, negotiated with Russia and banned n @ z1ste organizations in Ukraine (Azov, Aidar and others).

      For reasons and consequences, the recent meeting of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, urgently convened from vacations, should have given a cardinal decision, but there were no such decisions. Perhaps the United States, having learned about the decisions being made, promised something, because the meeting ended with petty questions .. Today we hear from the United States that the Himars of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will no longer receive from the United States, perhaps something else. This is for the Ukrainian Armed Forces of Ukraine and propaganda like a sickle in one place, all hopes for victory disappear ...

    I wonder if this is a reservation or a plan? The title contains the word "yet". This means that the war must continue until the complete surrender of the West. Not Kyiv, namely the West.

    Americans, as always, in their repertoire, neither give nor take.
    1. Acquitted for their arms shipments.
    2. After the defeat of Ukraine, they will trumpet to the whole world that they have been warning everyone for a long time.
    In any case, they will be in chocolate.
