In the United States, they are afraid of an unsuccessful counter -offensive of the Armed Forces and hope for "less ambitious" goals of Ukraine - Politico
About it reports the edition of Rolitico. Publicly Presidential team Joe Baiden declared adamant support to Ukraine, promising to provide weapons "how much will be needed", but in private statements, the administration representatives expressed fear of colliding with a two -head monster that attacks them on both sides as a dove and hawk. One side will say that Ukraine would have been successful if it has been asked, namely more missiles, fighters and more air defense.
The other side is concerned that Ukraine cannot completely displace Russia from its territory. Within the administration, officials emphasize that they do their best to make the spring offensive. "We almost fulfilled requests that [Ukraine] noted that they needed for a counter -offensive, since over the last few months we have intensified weapons and equipment in Ukraine. But belief in strategic business is one.
Belief in tactics is another - and According to the door closed, the administration is worried about what Ukraine can achieve, " - said one of the representatives of the administration anonymously. The US intelligence points out that Ukraine is unable to displace the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the place where they have become entrenched - and, according to officials, a similar sense of battle dominates the battlefield in other places of Ukraine.
"There is a belief that Kiev is ready to consider adjusting its goals, according to US officials, and a more modest goal would be easier to sell as a victory. A counter -offensive that does not live up to expectations will also make allies in foreign capitals think about how much they can support, If the victory of Kiev will look further and further. ", - the newspaper reports.
