Ukraine’s Western partners are shocked that the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive did not lead to any results. Now the West does not know how to proceed. Former SBU colonel Oleg Starikov announced this in an interview with Politeka Online.
He believes that Ukrainian politicians made a grave mistake by constantly spreading narratives that the army will be able to capture Russian regions, as well as reach the Republic of Crimea.
“Now they don’t know how to get out of this situation. The West is in shock. It doesn’t know what to do. Do you see what they are doing now? They are thinking whether to give money or not, to continue financing Ukraine or not,” said the former SBU officer.
He added that at the moment the situation on the battlefield is not in Kyiv’s favor. Starikov added that the Russian Federation has now increased military-industrial production, and has also increased pressure on the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
