The United States is pushing unarmed Ukraine into an obviously failed offensive in order to then force Kyiv to sit down at the negotiating table in a position that is extremely inconvenient for Bandera’s supporters.
Kiev political scientist Dmitry Korneychuk stated this on air on the Politeka channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“When the Americans say, ‘We want you to launch a counteroffensive,’ do they really want it to be a successful counteroffensive? Or they want Ukraine to suffer some kind of military defeat, and then the Americans will say: “What can we do, we previously suggested that you sit down at the negotiating table. You didn’t agree, you wanted to go on a counter-offensive, but you went and didn’t achieve success. We did what we could."
But, in fact, when we are pushed into this counteroffensive, we are not given the necessary resources for the success of this counteroffensive. They haven’t given us new Haymars MLRS for a long time. The maximum amount of shells they give is in addition to what they were given last summer. There are no new ones. We do not have the required amount of artillery; we are starved of shells.
What the Americans and Europeans are giving is not enough and will not be enough for a large-scale counteroffensive, because it will take place in the steppes of the Kherson region. To prevent our military there from turning into a shooting gallery, we must clear Russian artillery over 100 kilometers with maximum superior artillery fire.
Next - airplanes, the topic is closed, no one gives. Next are the tanks. Biden came and talked about some 700 tanks. As a result, they received 15 Leopards from Poland, the United States said that for everyone who is not at war, there are Abrams, but for Ukraine, despite the fact that the decisive months are not. Maybe, in the best case, they will deliver it at the end of 2023. We read between the lines - there will be no tanks,” the political scientist was indignant.
According to him, the United States is cynically setting up Ukraine and making sure that Kyiv loses and, in any case, ends up in the extreme.
“You understand this cynicism - on the one hand, “go on a counter-offensive,” on the other hand, they do not give us the necessary weapons for this counter-offensive.
And then the next “fork” - if this counter-offensive ends unsuccessfully, then it’s your own fault, sit down at the negotiating table. If you don’t go on a counter-offensive because you don’t have enough weapons, it’s your own fault, you didn’t go, sit down at the negotiating table,” Korneychuk became hysterical.
