I don't believe that article or the comments from Zelensky give anything away.
Likely not, but what Zelenskyy's comments may do is needlessly elevate the expectations of uninformed politicians and oblivious citizens in the US and the West to unrealistic levels. Why repeat 2023's over promising and under delivering?I don't believe that article or the comments from Zelensky give anything away.
Come on…Zelenskyy and Zaluzhnyi hyped up the 2023 counteroffensive all across Western media and YouTube.Ukraine's 2023 offensive didn't over promise -
And Zelenskyy knows that he needs to keep Ukraine in the news cycle.Ukraine's 2023 offensive didn't over promise - people's modern expectations born of instant gratification gave them a let down.
The public has quickly forgotten that Ukraine is punching above it's weight class alone, against a "super power" and their fight is not an easy one.
The talking heads are just making noise - of course Ukraine will have plans for an offensive. What/when/where will be pure conjecture, but the media thrives on sensatialism and we'll have to suffer through countless op-eds until it actually happens and at that point, we and the Russians will know.
100% agree. As further example of people's unrealistic need for instant answers, look at the MH370 search.Ukraine's 2023 offensive didn't over promise - people's modern expectations born of instant gratification gave them a let down.
I don't blame him for this. In fact, I believe he has given a textbook case of the role of a political leader in a war time role.And Zelenskyy knows that he needs to keep Ukraine in the news cycle.
......and Zelensky MUST keep morale as high as possible and attention focused on TWO home fronts: the Ukraine's and the collective West's.Putting forward the Counter offensive message also may force the Russians to husband their forces just in case thus helping to relieve some pressure on Ukrainian forces.
The "Peace at any cost" argument put forward here and by others (including some senior political leaders) has to be ceased. Imagine the argument being used as people are led to the gas chambers...
100% agree. As further example of people's unrealistic need for instant answers, look at the MH370 search.
More reporting:The White House is expected to announce as soon as Tuesday that it will send a new package of weapons worth $300 million to Ukraine. The package will include a number of the Anti-Personnel/Anti-Materiel, or APAM, an older version of the long-range ATACMS.
