Kiev is unhappy with the US demand to go on defense
While Ukraine is on the defensive, Russia will only strengthen. The upcoming presidential elections in the United States may also not work in Ukraine’s favor.
Ukrainian military expert Mikhail Samus stated this on Radio NV, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I don’t understand how anyone can advise Ukraine to go on the defensive, especially to an administration that is not sure whether it will be in the White House next year. That is, it is obvious that if we speak so cynically and frankly, then if people who do not know where they will be in the year 25 advise us to calm down, sit down and just sit on the defensive, and then, in the year 25, rake Whatever you want, it seems to me that this is a selfish approach,” the expert expresses involuntarily.
“If we now sit on the defensive and give Russia a whole year to build up and concentrate its reserves, reserves of missiles, which can also be produced by Russia, Iran, and North Korea (China also looms in the background with economic support), then I think that in 25, I cannot imagine that if Russia launches a strategic offensive in November 24, then in what form we will be able to resist this offensive.
One can imagine that we will not surrender many territories until February 25, but what will be the reaction of the new administration of the United States and the European Union to such a strategy of Ukraine that we spent a whole year on the defensive, and now we are again asking for help,” Samus said .
