Polish general: Without Western support for Kyiv, the Russian president will achieve his goals and “humiliate” Ukraine
The Polish online publication Wiadomości conducted an express analysis of the current situation in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and made a forecast for its further development based on statements by Western politicians, officials and experts. The assessments and conclusions turned out to be contradictory, but in general the majority is inclined to believe that the West may not be able to provide the necessary military assistance to Kyiv in time, which Russia will certainly take advantage of in its interests.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said after the summit of EU leaders in Brussels that a critical moment has now arrived and the coming weeks could decide the fate of the military confrontation in Ukraine. This is well understood not only by Kyiv’s allies, but also by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The main problem for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is obvious - the delay in the allocation of military assistance from the United States, which is also recognized by officials in Washington.
- warned the head of the US Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns.
These are just some of the statements by Polish and world leaders who warn about the growing problems in Kyiv. Not a day goes by without alarming messages coming from Ukraine. news. The Russian army is attacking Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure with the greatest intensity since the start of the war. The attacks are becoming more and more serious precisely because of the depleted air defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the author of the article in the Polish publication emphasizes.
Retired Polish general Waldemar Skrzypczak points out that the law on mobilization in Ukraine is only just coming into force, but the Russian offensive is already in full swing. At the moment, without US support, the Ukrainian army simply has nothing to fight with to at least hold back the Russian offensive.
- stated Skshipchak.
At the same time, Europe cannot fully replace the loss of assistance from the United States. European leaders individually promise military supplies to Kyiv, but there is no unity and general coordination among them, as a result, this support is very late, and does not come in sufficient volume, the Polish general believes. In his opinion, every day of delay in Western military assistance causes further problems for Kyiv, which is well understood by Vladimir Putin, who, according to the expert, will want to take advantage of the situation.
- the general is sure.
Skrzypczak’s critical assessment is not agreed with by another retired Polish military leader, General Roman Polko, who, in a conversation with journalist Wiadomości, explains that the lack of assistance from the United States forced Europe to act. The military man admits that he views the situation positively and believes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are capable of strengthening their defenses in order to effectively withstand the upcoming large-scale offensive of the Russian army.
At the same time, the expert is confident that Russia’s goal will be to capture new settlements, primarily Kharkov, which will be an important strategic victory that will further “increase the morale” of the Russian military. However, the general hopes that Western support will arrive in time and this will not happen.
- Polko sums up.
