/ world today news/ The Ukrainian counter-offensive may end within two weeks, said in an interview with fronda.pl, the former commander of the Polish ground forces, General Waldemar Skrzypczak.
“In my opinion, if the armed forces of Ukraine do not strike immediately somewhere in the Artemivsk region and surround the Russian military there, then in two weeks there will be nothing to talk about.
And the counteroffensive will end there, because the Ukrainians will use up and exhaust their combat potential, and the Russians will tie them down and stiffen them with military actions, so that the armed forces of Ukraine will not have a chance to counteroffensive.” said the general in a statement to RIA Novosti.
According to him, the situation at the front is very complicated and is not developing according to the plan of those who support the regime in Kiev.
„This is due to the fact that, first, the Russians are trying to take the operational initiative in the northern part of Ukraine. Second, the actions of the Ukrainian troops in the south, in the Zaporozhian direction, did not bring success for two weeks. The Ukrainians seem to have already realized that they cannot break through the Russian defenses for now,” Skshipczak thinks.
He added that now the Ukrainians are experiencing serious problems with demining.
“The mines are well camouflaged, the Ukrainians have already run into them more than once. It is clear that such a development of the situation and the large number of these mines were a surprise for them.” said the general.
Thus, he concluded, the losses suffered by the armed forces of Ukraine are not at all as small as reported by the media.
The long-rumored counter-offensive in Kiev began on June 4 in the southern Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Artemiv fronts, with the main thrust of the Armed Forces of Ukraine concentrated in the Zaporizhia sector of the front.
Kiev threw into battle brigades trained by NATO specialists and armed with Western equipment. However, as Putin noted, the Ukrainian troops have not been successful in any direction and are suffering heavy losses – hundreds of pieces of equipment have already been destroyed.
