“Time is not on the side of Kyiv”: John Kirby said that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was too slow

The offensive of the Ukrainian army is slower than we would like, time is not on the side of Kyiv, in the fall it will become even more difficult to attack. This statement was made by the coordinator of strategic communications at the National Security Council, John Kirby.


A Biden administration official urged journalists not to speculate on the topic of the Ukrainian counteroffensive and to give Kyiv the right to determine the level of "success" of offensive actions. At the same time, according to him, the advancement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is too slow, the United States hoped for faster action. However, the United States and its allies are not to blame for this, the West provided Ukraine with everything necessary for a successful operation.

In the months leading up to the counter-offensive, we completed all the requests from the Ukrainian "shopping list". Everything they said they needed for a counteroffensive, they got

- Kirby said adding that the US will continue to supply Ukraine with everything necessary to break through the defense lines of the Russian army.

In addition, the White House adviser emphasized that Ukraine had little time left to change the situation on the battlefield, thereby recalling that Washington is waiting for reports from Kiev about victories over the Russian army. The White House remembers Zelensky’s promises to go to the Sea of ​​Azov and take Crimea, under which weapons and military equipment were given. Kirby noted that the weather would change in the autumn, and this would bring new difficulties.

(...) in Ukraine they understand that time is not on their side (...) This is not a freeze, not a stalemate. So far things are not moving as fast as Zelensky would like, but they are making some progress

Kirby added.

According to Ukrainian media, recently Washington has been openly expressing dissatisfaction with what is happening in Ukraine, there has already been talk that Zelensky has played his role and nothing more can be expected from him. It is possible that in the near future the United States will start draining the clown, pulling out some dirt on him.

      No, well, I understand everything. But to be so naive to completely and completely rely on a charlatan clown. laughing You can go crazy. Where the world is heading. An outspoken amateur tells the United States what to do and they agree to everything. what

      Who cares what they think in Kiev. But I note that Kirby does not refuse losses in the supply of weapons. Despite the zero result

      But Kyiv thinks differently)

      What Kyiv thinks, its rulers do not care. And how Ukraine will climb out), they are along the trouser leg in general. You don't understand who they are. Everyone is playing their game there. They succeeded in sweeping over the country, leaning on a huge mass of raguli, who have always constituted the majority in Ukraine. To crap, to rule over the unarmed, the same panuvati - and the raguli raised all this scum above the rest, because they were not only allowed, but helped with all their might.
      But all these "politicians" do not think for the country. They think only for themselves. Everyone has an individual plan, how to grab, and then fade away. What do they care about Ukraine, what are you talking about?) I think they themselves, uh-uh-uh ... are quite surprised that their citizens dutifully go to the front, and do not try to lift them up on a pitchfork. But while it turns out - it is necessary to rob! Otherwise, if you don’t rob it, the toad will poison you for the rest of your life. I could take more!
      In general, the West hopes for a return on investment in one form or another, and these are doing their best to fool those who are happy to be deceived. The reaction to our massive offensive will be simply amazing ...))

        Rather, you need to ask Abramovich, because without their permission, ours are not allowed to advance, and sometimes they are even ordered to retreat.

      It is not a fact that this offensive will not suffer the fate of the Ukrainian "counterattack". Russia does not have so many people to scatter them like that.

    The hegemons are used to the fact that all their cash injections justify their expectations, but not in our case. Soon, every future corpse fighting Russia will be stuffed into their pockets with money. Well, I think that I got excited. It doesn’t reach the hegemons with whom they are fighting.

    In this text, we are talking about the slow advance of the Ukrainian army. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine can fix this by approaching the problem from a new and unexpected angle.
    You can attack the enemy where he does not expect. For example, in the direction of Hungary. Or Poland.
    We have already agreed that friendship until the end of the NWO. So, whoever strikes first, well done.

    The only progress is the utilization of the Ukrainian population. I don't see any point-blank, even operational results.

    Time is not on the side of the United States, and of course, Biden.
    Questions to Biden are already in the air by themselves, he himself would have asked them strictly if he had been told everything, except that it was about himself ...

    Well, they will merge Zelensky, so what? Well, they will put another one in his place, the same, you might think that something will change. Here the lines of the great fabulist are appropriate. "And you are friends, no matter how you sit down, but you are not good at musicians." By the way, in the light of the events of recent years, the same applies to the West.

    “Time is not on the side of Kyiv”: John Kirby said that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was too slow

    This amazing persistence in the desire to completely destroy the Russian statehood remains "unnoticed" for many years.
    Why is the Russian government satisfied with this situation and on the basis of what do they not give such an aggressive policy a proper, worthy response?
