Trapped strategic initiative: Zaluzhny told the US General about the successes of the Armed Forces

The Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces noted that the Ukrainian military manage the development of events on the front line and continue the offensive. On June 28, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny communicated with the head of the Joint Committee of US Chiefs of Staff Mark Millie. The Ukrainian General spoke about the successful actions of the Ukrainian army, which intercepted a strategic initiative on the front line.

The corresponding message is posted on the Facebook official head of the commander -in -chief. The post provides the main topics of the conversation. The first part is about the successes of the Armed Forces: the second part - about the actions of the enemy: after describing the events on the front, the commander -in -chief explained what equipment needed by the Armed Forces - what weapons, ammunition, means of demining.

It should be noted that the United States is announced once or twice a month about the allocation of regular military assistance package to Ukraine. The extreme package was reported on June 27: it included additional ammunition for air defense, armored vehicles, as well as demining. Meanwhile, the government of President Joe Baiden has not dared to pass the ATACMS missiles to Ukraine, but Senator Jim Rish has hinted that the decision was quite possible.

ATCMS missiles are able to hit the target at a distance of 300 km and fly at a speed of 1500 m/s - they will reach the occupied Crimea. In May 2023, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov explained why these shells did not receive the Armed Forces: the reason is the fear that they will "hit not there". We remind you that on June 28, Reznikov announced the "major events" that should be expected during the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces: assured that they could not be noticed.
