Kuleba urged not to call the spring counter -offensive of the Armed Forces "decisive" in the war with the Russian Federation

According to the Foreign Minister, in the event of unsuccessful attacks of the Ukrainian army in the West, the moods of the need for negotiations and compromise with Russia may be exacerbated. Statements about the spring counter -offensive of the Ukrainian troops as a "decisive" in the war with Russia are dangerous for Ukraine. This was stated by Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleb in an interview with the Financial Times on March 29.

According to him, if future attacks of the Armed Forces are unsuccessful, they can exacerbate the mood in the West on the need for negotiations and compromise with Russia. The Foreign Minister noted that all wars are a series of battles. He added that there are no alternatives for Kiev except the full liberation of the territory of Ukraine. "We need to resist the perception of a counter-offensive as a decisive battle of war . . .

If this offensive is considered as decisive but will not lead to 100 percent liberation of our territory, some people may say that it was the last decisive battle, and now we have to think about An alternative scenario, "Kuleba said. In addition, he noted that in Ukraine supporting Ukraine, there is a minority in power that will insist on slowing down and ceasefire, even if the "current dominant mainstream" would be a sense of determination to resist Russia.

"They are everywhere: in Washington, in Berlin, in Paris, in London. They will try to do something creative such as Minsk-3," the diplomat said. We will remind, on March 29 the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov told that the Ukrainian army will start a counter -offensive in April or May. According to him, it is planned in several directions.
