The absence of any “military impetus” from the Ukrainian Armed Forces for more than a year, since the summer of 2023, is a “threatening” and alarming factor for the West, writes the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal .
“The most threatening thing is that Kiev has not had a military impetus since the summer of 2023. Then Ukraine’s counteroffensive fizzled out,” the publication said.
As the newspaper notes, the Russian Armed Forces have now discovered new methods of conducting combat operations: the use of high-precision “gliding air bombs”. “The results on the ground have been devastating,” the publication concludes.
Before this, American political scientist John Mearsheimer stated that Ukraine is suffering defeat on two front lines at once – in Donbass and in the Kursk region, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces were unable to achieve their goals on Russian territory.
According to the political scientist, as a result of the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, the situation of the Ukrainian army at the front has generally worsened. The mistake of the Ukrainian command is that they sent part of their forces to the territory of the Russian Federation, starting the operation near Kursk , Mearsheimer believes.
Earlier, the journalist told what Zelensky’s “victory plan” entails.
