US General Ben Hodges: APU has not launched a counteroffensive yet, everything that is happening is a "preparatory operation"

The Ukrainian army has not yet launched a counteroffensive, everything that is happening now is part of a preparatory operation that is designed to confuse the command of the Russian army. This was stated by the former commander of the US Army in Europe, Ben Hodges.

The American Russophobe general, after his retirement, continues to "fight" with Russia, but already on the pages of various publications, predicting the inevitable defeat of the Russian army. At the same time, Hodges bases his fabrications on Ukrainian sources and Western propaganda. Since the beginning of the Russian special operation, he has several times announced the "defeat" of the troops of the Russian Armed Forces and the imminent surrender of Moscow.

So this time, the general said that everything that is happening in the Zaporozhye direction, including the heavy losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in manpower and armored vehicles, is nothing but a "trap" for the Russian army, arranged by the command of the Ukrainian army. According to Hozhdes, this will be followed by the counter-offensive itself, which the Russian troops cannot stop in any way. It remains only to wait for the full readiness of the armored brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He urged not to believe Russian sources, because everything they report about what is happening at the front is a lie. In fact, everything is fine there, the offensive will begin soon.

The general is convinced that the defensive lines built by Russia will not stop the Ukrainian army, because it is "disciplined", and the Russians do not know how to fight, they have problems in the army and in the political leadership. If you push harder on them, they will certainly run.

The main task of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to cut off the land route to the Crimea, and then isolate the peninsula with its subsequent "liberation". After that, Ukraine will push the Russian fleet out of Crimea and open the peninsula for "world trade", i.e. will allow the Americans and the British to reach it, so that they build their military bases there and completely control the Black Sea. In principle, Hodges revealed the main task of Kyiv - to win back the peninsula for the USA and Great Britain by any means. How many Ukrainian soldiers will be destroyed in this case, the West does not care.

If this is only an undertaking, then how many of their own will they put on the offensive?

[Borik]

So the more Americans die, the better for them. The Slavs are dying

[Anarchist]

They will throw into battle everyone who is not sorry. And they don't care about anyone! In the "civilized" West, for centuries, they have dreamed of cracking down on the Russians. And here, in fact, one people is at war with each other.
They will throw into battle everyone they can. Until they realize the futility of the attacks. And then they will go on the defensive, if only this war lasted as long as possible.

Well, don't tell me. If I were an American puppeteer in Ukraine, I would definitely not experience the joy of reducing the number of my toys. Though I probably wouldn't worry.

There has never been a shortage of people willing to live there.
Especially those who prefer to get everything with someone else's sweat and blood.
And with American puppeteers, most likely "American" puppeteers.

"So the more Americans die, the better for them. After all, the Slavs die"
European bantustan
Ragulistan has now become -
Behind the "orange" Maidan,
Maidan "Hidnosti" struck
Tires suddenly blazed,
The whole country is on fire
"Banderlog monkeys" -
Ukraine is not needed ...
She does not need NATO,
And Europe does not need -
Well, to NATO soldiers
We do not need a war with the Russian Federation ...
Let Ukraine fight
Sheds her blood
Well, if someone dies,
Women give birth again ...
They don't care about Ukraine
And what will happen to her later
"World Ruler"
No time to think about...
Let the Slavs fight there
He will trade
After all, somewhere you need to "zbroyu",
Sell ​​outdated...
So what kind of fear
We, the Slavs, it became necessary -
Kill like this, each other
For the sake of NATO interests...???

B. Hodges ..... after retirement, continues to "fight" with Russia

Why shouldn't this American "assault warrior" lead this counteroffensive. A place at the military cemetery in Arlington will be reserved for him.

It’s not a fact that the whole carcass will reach Arlington. They may not be collected after the shelling.

[Aitmouhoub]

Justement les amerloc adorent fanfaronner! Je voudrais bien voir ce général de pacotille au côté de ses allies avec en face une vraie armée comme la Russie! Certain qu'il mouillera le fond de ce qu'il lui sert de pantalon. Fausse modestie quand tu nous tiens.

Here we have appointed bonuses for leopards, but for amers or small Britons - for each head, why is there no bonus? They need to beat the show-offs. Again, many peoples "love" them, and then there is the financial component. Just business, nothing more...

[Leonidych]

And they haven't really started yet. They have 2 full-blooded army corps concentrated in the Zaporozhye direction. So it's still ahead and it's too early to relax.

Of course, no one relaxes. But, to win the first significant defensive battle, and to test yourself, it's worth a lot.
These fighters are no longer afraid of any full-blooded corps.

[VSO-396]

Quote: leonidych

Perhaps I agree, Leonidich, with you. According to the reports of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, every day they disable 20-40 Russian artillery pieces lately. No more than a battalion is thrown into the offensive at the same time. Conclusion: they continue to carry out reconnaissance in force in order to identify the positions of artillery and suppress it, clearing the way for shock brigades.

[Ivan F]

If they had carried out reconnaissance in battle, they would not have thrown Leopards there.

"According to the reports of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, every day they put out of action 20-40 Russian artillery pieces lately. No more than a battalion is thrown into the offensive at the same time." - there are no words at all, as they say.

[Roma 1977]

"20-40 Russian guns break down every day due to overheating..." - probably that's what he wanted to say, and during this time one calculated Ukrainian battalion is sent to the country of eternal hunting. It looks like the truth.

[Ivan F]

He quoted the "reports" of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But seriously consider them, well, that's it. Therefore, the "idea" that they throw "no more than a battalion, while we lose 30 guns every day" looks somehow strange. Our military and military correspondents clearly do not observe this, because in 10 days 300 - 400 guns minus, everyone would discuss this.
Regarding overheating, well, our repairmen are great in this situation, plus new guns are being delivered. Therefore, it is unlikely because of those. problems, such a decrease is possible.
And in general, an unsubstantiated reference to the "press" of the enemy, well, this is not very reasonable.

[VPK-65]

It was a cunning plan to cross the minefields through the troupes of twin brothers.

[Sevastiec]

Let me doubt the words of this Ben. It is unlikely that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would have thrown at the "distraction", the Leopards of the latest modification, of which they have only a few.

[Mwg]

"Let me doubt the words of this Ben. It is unlikely that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would have thrown at the" distraction ", Leopards of the latest modification, of which they have only a few." - I will add: for the evacuation of which they put 20 - 30 people each. This means that these technical means of strict accountability will be seriously asked for.

[meandr51]

Put all the rest. After that, the Poles will take over.

[Arkady007]

Immediately a question to US General Ben Hodges: How does he know when the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin if the United States does not take part in the hostilities in Ukraine?

Voices in his head tell him, judging by the nonsense that he is talking about.

I think there are a lot of fools on the other side (since they don’t understand that they are dying at the whim of the West), so it will take a long time to wait.

[Retvizan 8]

Yes, bad news for the skakuas!
It turns out that the offensive has not even begun, and hundreds of the invaders have already taken control!

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

Jak takový hlupák mohl být generálem??, vždyť je hloupější jako děti ve škole!

Donc d'apres ce "general" ceci :

mais alors "général" si telle était la vérité ne serait il pas hautement stupide de votre part d'en informer les Russe en disant cela ? :-)... Il ya dans votre declaration deux parties clairement antinomiques...

So according to this "general" it is: "... which aims to confuse the command of the Russian army ..." but then "general", if it were true, wouldn't it be very stupid of you to inform the Russians, saying that? :-)... There are two obviously contradictory parts in your speech:

[tsvetahaki]

M...yes...
Does knowing that you are playing with thimblers help a lot? The open secret is probing the defense ... Regiments and divisions were thrown into the Patriotic War for this, and here they knocked out 10 tanks.
It's just great that this round of probing our defenses is ours, but why should we be worse than a retired general and pretend that the "colonels" on the forum do not understand the obvious?

[rocket757]

US General Ben Hodges: APU has not launched a counteroffensive yet, everything that is happening is a "preparatory operation"

. It is unlikely that he is for himself, he tells fairy tales ... fairy tales for the layman and nothing more.

Who will reveal all the details of the offensive operation? This is not a hockey match to be commented on live.

And why don't we give them their own fat and even give them wort.
Why is it impossible not to speak at the UN and call on the entire world community to open their eyes, to understand that they have been cruelly deceived by the outskirts, that the outskirts are affected by the brown plague, to show Nazi posters and atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis, and to call on all civilized countries to stop immediately helping neo-Nazis, to unite and crush this fascist reptile in her own lair?
Why do we observe some kind of politeness ?!
Today the world wants a show, so let's give it to them?! And give them a chance to improve.

Regarding the offensive, the general is partly right, the Armed Forces of Ukraine still have enough forces and equipment for the offensive.

Yes, and what to take from American retired generals, if the current American admiral walks in a women's skirt, women's shoes, with gray hair to the shoulders and paired with a nuclear worker in a mini-dress, women's shoes with heels and a bare skull.

[BorzRio]

Ukraine is trying to fight according to NATO standards, but it seems that they always took care of the lives of soldiers. But judging by how many two-hundredths are put into the ground by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, these standards clearly do not work in a war with Russia. Or for Ukrainians, NATO has created a separate standard, apparently called "throwing corpses *.

Many months ago it was said that "we haven't started yet."
Now it sounded from their side that "they haven't started yet."
Plagiarism! US users need to pay to use this phrase. Registered Trademark.

When will America finish spreading its apples raking all over the world? In their own home, not thank God, but others are taught how to live with a gun on their shoulder and a grenade in their pocket. It's like the Gangs of New York have spread across the planet.

[komandir8]

Yes, this is not the beginning of a strategic offensive operation, but reconnaissance in combat by battalion tactical groups against our battalions defending at the forefront in the division and brigade support zone. The main forces of up to 100 people are located in the depths of defense in the north of the Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk regions. We will soon find out when and how they will bring them into battle.

[Warm Padded Jacket]

Either the translation of the curve or the general is stupid, although it cannot be ruled out that both options are correct. Well, what can we say to this Hodgins - we also liked these preparatory operations.

[JD1979]

Somewhere I've heard it before... Ah... "We haven't started anything yet." Brothers in mind, what can I say.

After that, Ukraine will oust the Russian fleet from Crimea and open the peninsula for "world trade",

Hundreds of thousands of wealthy foreigners

The state will have to urgently build

Skyscraper hotels for guests
