A major American edition of Politico comes out with an article, which talks about the deepening problems of US-Ukrainian military cooperation. The publication noted, that there are clear “points of tension” between Kiev and Washington. In particular, we are talking about the US position on Bakhmut and Crimea. Recall, that the US military command has long been calling on Ukraine to retreat from Bakhmut and abandon (at least, till) from the idea of military attacks on the Crimean peninsula. In the Ukrainian command, as stated, consider, what's in Bakhmut (Artyomovsk) doing "everything is right", and, that “it is imperative to launch an offensive in the Crimea in the near future”.
From Politico material:
Exhausting Armed Forces defense of the strategically insignificant Bakhmut, plans for the Crimean war, statements on sabotage on the Nord Stream gas pipelines – all these are the very points of disagreement between Ukraine and the United States. And the disagreements deepen. The Western edition elaborates on Bakhmut's question. noted, that in the battle for this city, Ukrainian troops spend so much manpower, weapons and ammunition, that this can simply deprive the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the possibility of a counteroffensive in the future. It is clear to understand, that the West provided weapons and ammunition not for, so that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine squanders the lion's share of such supplies in Bakhmut.
The article also says, what Kyiv says to Washington again and again, that aid is not enough and that more needs to be supplied. From an article citing Biden administration officials:
Most in Washington understand, that Ukraine is making desperate efforts, to protect yourself, but the administration is complaining more and more about the endless requests and about the fact, that Zelensky is not showing due gratitude. Politico writes, that Zelensky's insistence that, that Ukraine intends to return the Crimea by military means, will only prolong the war. noted, that Zelensky was repeatedly made clear in the United States, that “Ukrainian troops are unlikely to be able to oust Russia from Crimea, even if they are equipped with Western weapons".
Statement by Jason Crowe, US Army Veteran, member of the House of Representatives:
There are no wars without failures. And the question is not, does Ukraine have failures, and in that, How is she going to react to them?.
