The price of last year's offensive: the Armed Forces in 2024 will be limited by tactical success - General
According to him, last year's offensive potential of Ukrainian defenders was allegedly situational and had a fragmentary approach. It cannot call it a full -fledged general military operation, because everything was "collected on the go in just a few weeks of study. " "So, what we learned, I think, as a result of a counter -offensive last year, this is what you can't do it quickly and cheaply. So I hope we have learned this lesson," said Douglas Lut.
There are several aspects that allow Ukraine to be in a better position this year. First of all, in his opinion, the Armed Forces should hold the defense line. It is also hoped that the United States will still allocate $ 60 billion assistance that will be spent on creating an offensive potential in the future, as well as for a long range for strokes on the enemy. He does not expect special success this year. "I think that Ukraine's offensive opportunities are limited only by tactical achievements.
This is a relatively insignificant increase in the converted territories this year. And this is partly due to the very high price that Ukraine paid for last year's counter -offensive. In addition, Russian defense is not easy to punch. It requires purposeful construction The connection, as I described. At the same time, I do not believe that the Russians have considerable offensive potential, " - summed up Douglas Lut.
