Biden Is Out of Sync With Ukraine’s CounteroffensiveDuring a news conference with President Biden in Washington, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak assured Ukraine: "We will be here as long as it takes." Biden added, "I believe we'll have the funding necessary to support Ukraine as long as it takes." Now, however, Milley is hinting that "as long as it takes" may have a time limit.
Although the Washington Post continues to report that Ukraine's counteroffensive is "running out of options," some reports from the battlefield suggest otherwise. Ukraine continues to hold its own in Kupiansk and Bakhmut, and is striking deep into Russia — in Moscow and, more recently, the Soltsy-2 airbase in the Novgorod oblast and Shaikovka airfield in the Kaluga oblast, where Tu-22M3 Backfire bombers armed with Kh-22s and Kh-32 supersonic missiles are based.
Tactically, Ukraine is advancing southward toward Melitopol, having achieved operational successes in Tokmak and Robotyne. Kyiv is systematically isolating Crimea with deep strikes on the Kerch Strait and Chorhar bridges, and seaports along the Crimea and Russian coast.
The success or failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive must be measured in its entirety, not just in the trenches and minefields. The Biden administration appears to be ignoring the deep fight — interdiction, defeating Russia's ability to wage war — and that affords the Kremlin sanctuary to mass personnel and equipment on the Russian side of the border, potentially prolonging the conflict.
Restricting Ukraine from targeting Russian forces in Russia with U.S. weapons allows Putin to continue to launch drone and missile strikes against civilian targets in Ukraine — largely without recourse — as he did in Chernihiv last Saturday, killing five and wounding 37, including 11 children.
ATACMS could be part of the solution, but for now the White House seems content with allocating defensive weapons — air defense systems — instead of permanently removing Russian weapon systems from the battlefield.
Washington's actions strongly suggest that winning is not the White House's preferred outcome as the Biden team attempts to set conditions for a diplomatic solution. In stark contrast, Ukraine and its European partners are maneuvering for an outright and decisive win.
Fighting Russia is hard enough for Ukraine. Zelenskyy should not have to fight Washington policymakers as well. Yet here we are — and innocent Ukrainians may pay the price.https://themessenger.com/opinion/biden-is-o...ounteroffensive2) უკრაინელების გამარჯვება უფრო ახლოა, ვიდრე ბევრს ჰგონია

Ukraine — Victory Is Closer Than You ThinkThe bleakness of the Western commentariat's recent output is striking — Ukraine's counteroffensive has made little progress, they say. Major US news outlets cite intelligence agencies opining that things are "grim" and that hopes are fading that Ukraine can reach its (supposed) objective of Melitopol, more than 50 miles away.
This is simply wrong. Intelligence analysts may look at the map of Southern Ukraine and see distances; military planners will apply the military math and see something very different. They know that to crush the Russian army and strangle the troops in frontline fortifications, they don't need to advance 50 miles. 10 miles will do it.
Why? Because although it would be great if Ukrainian troops broke through to the shores of the Sea of Azov, they do not have to. Instead, they can achieve a significant operational outcome by bringing Russia's ground line of communication (GLOC) under their guns.
On or around August 22, Ukraine's troops liberated the village of Robotyne, some 90km (around 55 miles) from the Sea of Azov, a major accomplishment given the enormous efforts of the Russian invaders to fortify and hold it.
From here, the Ukrainians need to advance by a further 10–15 km (7–10 miles), in order to range their guns on Russia's east-west transport routes that are critical to the ability of its army and armed forces to fight. If Ukraine can interdict these road and rail links, it's very hard to see how the Russian army can continue to fight.https://cepa.org/article/ukraine-victory-is...than-you-think/ * * *
