"There will be trouble": Alexei Danilov commented on "pessimism" of the media about the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces

The NSDC secretary mentioned the headlines of the Western media in the first days of a full -scale war, when none of them believed in the possibility of the Armed Forces. The official at the same time confirmed that the situation on the front was difficult, but the authorities were ready for it. NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov commented on the "pessimistic" mood of Western media against the spring counter -offensive of the Armed Forces. He spoke about it on the air of the telecommunication.

On Monday, March 13, The Washington Post published a material stating that Ukrainian military could not have time to prepare for large -scale liberation of the occupied territories from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and voiced such an opinion according to them anonymous Ukrainian officials. The NSDC Secretary noted that it is not true in fact, and it is impossible to believe everything that Western media is writing.

"We read these newspapers very carefully before February 24, when they all unanimously told us that there would be trouble that we would not have the opportunity to keep the defense. They have already written us in advance in a losing country," says Alexei Danilov. However, the official confirmed that the situation is quite complicated, since Ukraine has been running a full -scale war with the Russian Federation for over a year.

Everyone understands what will be difficult, but this understanding was present from the first days of confrontation. "We thank our partners for their support, but now to loosen the situation in the territory of our country by providing information that is not true - this is not a pleasant thing," Alexei Danilov emphasized.

The material states that until recently the quality of the military force of Ukrainians has exceeded the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but the last year caused huge losses to both parties and the Armed Forces lost one of the most experienced fighters. This is the fears of anonymous sources that are skeptical of a successful counter -offensive in the spring. The cause of pessimism is also the amount of weapons and equipment that the event is allocated to Ukraine.

The official on the conditions of anonymity stated that the number of tanks that would reach the battlefield is purely "symbolic", and a number of weapons may not have time to come. "Maybe we will have some localized breakthroughs. We have no people or weapons. And you know the ratio: when you are in the offensive, you lose two or three times more people. We cannot afford to lose so many people," - The official says.
