Ukraine is angry about stories in Western media quoting US officials as saying the three-month-old operation against Russia was falling short of expectations.
and other news organisations last week quoted US and other Western officials as suggesting the offensive was falling short of expectations. Some faulted Ukraine’s strategy, including accusing it of concentrating its forces in the wrong places.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told CNN that Ukrainian commanders deserved the benefit of the doubt. A Ukrainian commander in the area told Reuters last week that his men had breached the most difficult line, reaching less heavily defended areas, and now expected to advance more quickly. Reuters could not independently verify this.Ukraine has also stepped up drone attacks on targets deep within Russia and in Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine. Russia’s defence ministry said it had destroyed a new Ukrainian drone over the Bryansk region in southern Russia.
“The results of our weaponry – new Ukrainian weaponry – 700 km away,” he said in his nightly video address. “And the task is to do more.”
