Advisor to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, called the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces successful, despite criticism of the actions of the Ukrainian military in Western media and political circles. In an interview with CNN, he said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have the initiative at the front.
“The initiative is completely on the side of Ukraine,” Podolyak said in an interview with an American television channel. The adviser’s words are reported by RIA Novosti.
The tactics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield have previously been repeatedly criticized in Western media. About what is advertised by Kyiv the counteroffensive was a failure, the CIA also said. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the counter-offensive amounted to more than 71 thousand people. According to him, during the three-month operation, Kyiv was unable to achieve any results. According to former US Army Lieutenant Commander John Nagl, The Ukrainian Armed Forces must try make a breakthrough before the end of autumn. Otherwise, the autumn thaw will not allow them to achieve their goals.
