Ukraine’s move coincided with Washington’s announcement that Kiev had completed handing over all requests for military aid, indicating it would soon announce a new military aid package for Ukraine, steps according to a Russian military expert who prove Kiev’s inability to launch a counterattack at present, while another expert believes that Zelenskyy and Washington’s announcement is proof of the end of preparations for the attack imminent, as they told Sky News Arabia.
Reasons for decision
Musiyenko Matuzov, a military specialist at Ukraine’s National Institute for Strategic Studies, said the decision to expand the provisions could be part of the response to heavy Russian missile strikes on the Bakhmut axis and conflict areas in the over the past few days, which have resulted in heavy casualties on both sides.
Musiyenko-Matuzov explains in his statements to Sky News Arabia that recent Russian attacks have also affected Ukrainian reserve forces, and he has refuted interpretations of these laws for several reasons, including:
Zelenskyy assures that the army will officially continue the battle against Russia. A guarantee of receiving more Western military and financial support during the battles. A way to recruit and compensate for the human losses in the fighting of the last stage, to miss the opportunity of the voices demanding concessions on the lands annexed by Russia in exchange for the peace agreement.
Musiyenko-Matuzov says all capabilities are currently being mobilized to prepare for the counterattack, which is a last chance for Kiev to regain Russian annexed lands in the south, unlike the days of Moscow’s military expansion in the country.
Russian ground movement
Missile strikes, Russian progress over the past few weeks and actual successes on the ground have done much to limit the capabilities of the preparation phase for any decisive battle, so Russian military expert, Shatilov Minikaev , described the current situation on the ground .
Shatilov Minikaev added during his statements to ‘Sky News Arabia’ that the data on the ground indicates that the highest aspirations of the West and Ukraine at the moment are to calm the strong Russian advance. militarily, noting that the U.S. statement of supply readiness is nothing more than politically-purposed rhetoric and “evidence” positions along the lines of persistent demands of Zelenskyy from the West for continued military support and supplies.
The Russian military expert went on to say: The US announcement of broad and full support cannot be seen as real preparation for a decisive battle dubbed ‘spring’ in the media, as Kiev currently focuses its efforts on the strengthening the implementation of sanctions against Russia and accelerating the development of mechanisms to confiscate Russian assets and direct them to reconstruction efforts in Ukraine.
Shatilov Minikaev refers to Moscow’s military strategy in recent weeks, which relied on targeting warehouses and warehouses in Kiev, which it prepares to carry out its counterattack, and the Russian army attacked railway infrastructure and warehouses that house Western ammunition.
For his part, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said earlier that the combat capabilities and capabilities of all NATO countries have been used against Russia with the start of the special military operation in Ukraine. On the American side, John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator for the National Security Council, said, promising Kiev: “You will see continued assistance packages from us very soon.”
