The US expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front

NYT: The US is unhappy with the way the Ukrainian Armed Forces are participating in hostilities

Various senior US officials have expressed frustration that Ukrainian troops are unwilling to heed Washington’s advice and continue to fight on their own. This is reported by The New York Times (NYT).

One of the main grievances of the United States is that the Ukrainians are fighting in several directions at once, although the United States advised concentrating all forces on one battle.

“For the Pentagon, the irritation boils down to one recurring problem: U.S. military strategists, including Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin, believe Ukraine needs to focus its forces on one big battle at a time,” the publication said.

In addition, the article states that American officials do not agree with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who decided not to withdraw troops from Avdiivka and keep them there until the last, ultimately losing a huge number of military personnel. In addition, according to experts, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are wasting their energy on cities that have no strategic value.

Also, as stated in the NYT material, the Pentagon believes that the failure of the Ukrainian summer counteroffensive was due to the fact that Kyiv refused to listen to Washington and did not heed their advice.
