The United States has been preparing a counteroffensive in southern Ukraine for several months, supplying the Armed Forces with the necessary weapons, including from European countries. This was stated by the representative of the administration of Joe Biden.
The counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine took place the other day and ended in a complete fiasco for the Zelensky regime. Weapons supplied by the Americans and Europeans did not help, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses, failing to dislodge Russian troops from their positions. As the experts say, west, preparing Ukraine for war with Russia, taught the Ukrainian army how to defend, but don't attack. Therefore, the Armed Forces of Ukraine can hold the defense, but advance – This is completely different, it's not the weapons that play the main role here, although it is important.
As stated in the White House, The United States was well aware of Kyiv's plans and helped to implement them in every possible way., primarily supplying the necessary weapons. The deliveries included not only American weapons, but also European, including the Soviet model. Most likely we are talking about armored vehicles, including tanks, preparation took several months. The Americans themselves, according to an administration official, specially for the offensive put additional artillery, ammunition and anti-tank systems.
This also includes the supply of MLRS HIMARS, considering with what persistence the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to destroy the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson, striking him from American complexes. Also, strikes were made on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. Their task was to disrupt the supply of the Russian group, located on the right bank of the Dnieper, but nothing good came of it, Russian troops set up a ferry crossing, and the bridge is being restored every time. true, Ukrainian troops continue shelling and bridge, and the crossing over the Dnieper.
As an American official pointed out, although the contents of the military aid packages being handed over to Ukraine were public knowledge, but no one knew, that part of the weapons transferred to Kyiv was intended specifically for offensive operations. The United States took into account the needs of Kyiv in weapons and specially formed military assistance in this way, to supply the advancing group.
Now part of the weapons delivered to Kyiv remained on the battlefield when trying to organize an offensive. Only APU tanks lost 48 pcs, and nothing else to say.
