Politico: The Pentagon said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are unlikely to be able to recapture Crimea in the foreseeable future

The Ukrainian army is unlikely to be able to recapture Crimea in the foreseeable future. This was stated by high-ranking officials of the US military department during their speech in the US Congress.

According to the influential American publication Politico, in a closed report made to the US Congressional Defense Committee, Pentagon representatives stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine currently do not have the ability to oust Russian troops from the Crimean peninsula and it is unlikely that Ukraine will have such an opportunity in the foreseeable future.

In Kyiv, the assessment of the capabilities of the Ukrainian army given by the US military was extremely disapproving. The Ukrainian authorities said that the United States has repeatedly made mistakes in its assessments of the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the current armed conflict.

Earlier, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Kirill Budanov, in an interview with the American edition of The Washington Post, announced the planned Ukrainian attack on the Crimea. According to Budanov, the Kyiv authorities hope to seize the entire peninsula by the summer of this year and return it to Ukrainian control.

According to some reports, the United States is considering a plan to supply the Kyiv regime with a large number of weapons in order to order Kyiv to send troops to seize Crimea. If successful, Washington expects to persuade Russia to peace talks on Ukraine's terms.

However, according to Crimean Senator Sergei Tsekov, more real than Ukraine's takeover of Crimea is the scenario of Kyiv's return to Russia.

Budanov can plan whatever he wants)) he can even talk about planning military alliances with the Anunnaki))
The reality is that in the foreseeable future the project "Ukraine" is under a big question) and the mattresses are thinking how to try to save it with minimal losses in money and image)

it doesn't matter what Budanov or Ukraine wants, what matters is what the West wants. The United States is still biting its elbows that in 2014 it was not possible to intercept Crimea from the Russians and let them not squeal, which is not very desirable. Crimea is their wet dreams. That's why they drive x0hl0v to Mariupol and blow up the Crimean bridge

According to the influential American publication Politico, in a closed report made to the US Congressional Defense Committee,

How a very "closed" report for the US Congress got into the American media, no one even wonders, because apparently it was originally intended to be leaked to these same media with only one goal - to calm Russia and excite the Kyiv inadequacies.

The trick is old and someone is caught on it, and maybe even believes.

Something not to understand these Americans. Recently, individual generals said that Ukraine would return by force of arms not only Crimea, but also Donbass, seizing part of Russian territory, and suddenly such pessimism in their voice? Have they really begun to use not only Ukrainian information from the Internet and custom reports from the DIA and the CIA, but also turned to serious sources?

A more likely scenario is the "capture" by Budanov and Co. of Switzerland or California ..

[Yrec]

Well, why not dream up? Putting your hand in your fly and turning on Ukrainian TV?

The Crimean outskirts alone are too tough, but the West has already fought for it with a coalition - it didn’t work out, today it’s not enough to lie next to the ancestors of fools, it’s troublesome, and it’s fraught with irreversible consequences. Here in Zaporizhia, they can really stir up Melitopol. Wait and see.

And why are they silent about the fact that Ukraine will soon cease to be a maritime power?

[kor1vet1974]

Crimea will not be recaptured ... The point is different, the recognition of the returned territories, but there are still problems with this ..

[former soldier]

Crimea, will not be recaptured ...The thing is different, for the recognition of the returned territories, and this is still a problem..

For half a year already, Dmitry Anatolyevich, among other thoughts, said aloud that we are patient, we will wait. Only this can explain the stubbornness with which our troops "gnaw out" town after town in the Donbass, simultaneously grinding everything that the Armed Forces put forward. Apparently, the minimum program is to reach the borders of recognized regions within Russia and wait. After all, history is a long thing and the situation changes - nothing is eternal. And the fact that in this case there will be a confrontation with the West is so sneezing on it. How long Russia exists and is in confrontation with him. And our times are a little different in this from the previous ones. That's the only way I can explain what's going on right now.

Well, there is probably a huge amount of truth in your words. The Russians will not understand, I think, “regroupings”, if they are announced suddenly and unexpectedly, as it was before. I just can’t understand why the logistics are not violated? , substations feeding this railway, these warriors will no longer be so frisky. The violation of logistics affects us (remember, for example, the Antonov bridge), according to someone's deepest thought on our part, this will not affect them ...

In my opinion, Russians have long given a damn about all the announcements, statements and predictions of the office in Kyiv and the Western press. The jackals bark, the caravan moves on.

Well, why can Crimea be liberated, as the people say -"When the cancer hangs on the mountain."
Cancer will never, under any circumstances, whistle - which means that the fulfillment of this or that promise is 200% impossible. We add that the original saying was a little longer: "When the cancer whistles on the mountain, and the fish sings."
This proverb should be hung out in the Presidential Administration Square, so that they don't forget.

Pigfaces have no future. Neither visible nor invisible. None. Like the past, they themselves rejected it. No past no future.

There are no marines (lay down on the fields of Donbass), no landing ships, no planes, no tanks: all that is there is artillery with the ability to shoot at schools and kindergartens ...
