Western media hinted that Ukraine would be better off not launching the promised counteroffensive

9

Western media are preparing the layman for an alternative scenario for the end of the hot phase of the Ukrainian conflict. This is evidenced by the controversial publications that appear in leading publications.


Thus, the Wall Street Journal claims that the Ukrainian offensive "will begin in the coming weeks", but at the same time remains an equation "with a large number of unknowns." The same newspaper later writes that Ukraine's allies hope that the spring counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "will tip the scales in favor of Kiev on the battlefield", but at the same time they do not have a clear plan of what to do next and "how to achieve an end to the war."

ABC News warns that Russia's fourth-generation Su-35 fighter jets are increasing Russian dominance in the war zone - a "worrisome change for Ukraine and its partners."

The appearance of such articles can be explained by the fact that the Western media are actually hinting that the Ukrainian counteroffensive has unclear prospects. And, apparently, it is best not to start it.

From this we can conclude that the West soberly assesses the chances of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for success and is preparing a fallback in case the Ukrainian counter-offensive in the south fails. In particular, these may be framework agreements reached even before the announced offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The West will need to make peace with Moscow to prevent the Russian army from occupying new territories.

    The West will need to make peace with Moscow...
    The West and Ukraine itself are already sure that the Russian Federation has lost! People are already being appointed, a control mechanism and mechanics for obtaining money for the restoration of Ukraine. A substantive conversation between the West and the Russian Federation is possible only from the Ukrainian position then bargain for oneself. The obvious failure is already clear and in the current state of the Russian Federation cannot claim the role of any already independent and real center of influence, even with a significant increase in the global economic crisis and the chaos of some processes. Moreover, absolutely and completely in the fin.-ek-m bloc of the Russian Federation, the ENTIRE line of emvef managers remained - absurdity is generally complete!) and a window of opportunity with some relaxation of the position is possible with the Russian Federation somewhere in the fall. If the dialogue fails again, then the war can still last about 3 years (for the European theater of operations, 4 years of active hostilities - this has become a kind of conditional "standard" for Europe. WW1 and WW2 went on for about 4 years, although the 2nd is considered from 39, but global th character began with the 41st) with the involvement of a number of countries in it and the transition to a total war on a wide front, the full deployment of the military industry of both the West and the Russian Federation next year.
    And only a few years later, the final understanding of all parties will come that nothing can be solved by military means.
    So there is NO special need for the West to make peace now! Absolutely nothing is running out on them and resources are through the roof. It only takes a little more time to switch to a military footing, and this is also a kind of resource. Peace is possible only on their terms, but in the Russian Federation so far they are not ready for such formulations. With the West confident in its victory as a whole, there is a partial desire of some to weaken the Russian Federation a little by continuing the war, although it is believed that it has weakened so much, its markets have been captured, etc., and in the Russian Federation so far only part of the power I realized that this is all and it is necessary to somehow "close the topic" more beautifully, because they will not be forgiven for such huge sacrifices with such meager results.

        You can consider it anything you like! I just described the moods and opinions in Ukraine and in the West.
        Well, even Shoigu called the SVO a war. And you are confusing the essence of the process with its scale. In the wars of the past and some of the present, the number of warring combat units was many times less, but nevertheless it was a full-fledged war.

      Well, in a purely military aspect, this was already clear a year ago, when they retreated from near Kyiv.

      there is NO special need for the West to make peace now!

      I agree.

      in the fin.-ek-m block of the Russian Federation, the ENTIRE line of emvef managers remained - absurdity is generally complete!

      And this is where the fun begins.
      Before the NMD, it was believed that the Russian army had a hoo-hoo (there are just so many Soviet tanks), but the bloc is weak financially and economically, there is no economy at all, only the Chinese are chopping wood and pumping oil.

      However, against the background of the complete failure of all "shoulder straps", from intelligence to sailors, it was the financial and economic bloc that showed amazing resilience. Maybe few people in the West have realized this, and they certainly don’t realize it in Ukraine (there they are certainly sure that the “bast shoes” can only eat vodka and rave about world greatness).

      Yes, far from all issues in the economy have been solved at the moment.
      Yes, many decisions increase the already strong dependence on China.

      But in general, in the medium term (until ~2030), the Russian Federation has the opportunity not only to support the economy, but also to develop it. And globally, meanwhile, the economies of Asia are growing quantitatively and qualitatively, the West (especially the EU, Japan) are marking time and their specific value is declining.
      So the Russian Federation has every reason to drag out the rubber without unnecessary escalation, and the West is sure of the same.

      Another thing is that our alpha strategist often makes decisions contrary to economics, alignments and common sense...

    If we accept what you wrote as an axiom (which is not a fact), it makes sense for China to take the entire Russian Federation financially and resourcefully, even with our thieving ortka, for full support! :)
    Stupidly because as a result of several years of such databases, both the Wild West and the Russian Federation will slide down several places in economic and military power.

    Well, I personally believe that not Shoigu, but Mishustin will win the war. It is already clear that the Ukrainians have nothing to pay those who are on the front lines. And the optimization of salaries for armed people began. And this is a complete PE. As the Great Pilot said, "a rifle gives rise to power" (C). And if you do not feed those who have rifles, they will feed themselves. At the expense of those who do not have rifles and / or they are less able to use them. At least there will be riots. And then the Civil War.

      Payments have been reduced, BUT almost 520 billion hryvnias have recently been allocated to the budget and plus conscripts who have served are being transferred to contracts, that is, their salaries from 340 UAH to decent contract salaries. So Ukraine has no particular problems with money. In large cities of non-front-line people, literally get fat. Look, for example, what kilometer traffic jams for EVERY McDuck are now lined up in Odessa with the new re-opening of 5 of these zhralnikov. And they will even now carry out indexation of pensions.

        Hey, dude, do you think this is money from the Ukrainian budget? No, from the American. And their pensions too. And all this lafa until September 1. And then nothing. And yes, you can continue to think that you are winning. Then you wake up. And Europe ... there is democracy, the people are separate, the democrats are separate.

          What's the difference from what budget is the money? I write what they are. At the moment I describe how it is and it's not what I think (if I write what I think here, then the admin will throw me out of here instantly), but how to The West and Ukraine assess the situation.

      Of course, this is only a private opinion of a typical "pique vest".

      It makes sense for China to take the entire Russian Federation materially and resourcefully

      For China, this NOW is extremely beneficial, yes ....
      But they are unlikely to take the Russian Federation on their balance sheet.

      it is already clear that the ukrams have nothing to pay those who are on the front lines.

      We don't know for sure.
      The National Interest also writes that the Russian Federation is running out of shells.
