[Korrespondent] The Ukrainian Armed Forces' counter-offensive is slower than expected, but it is "consistent"
Ukrainian defenders are gradually liberating Russian-occupied territories in the south and east of our country.
The counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces “did not fail”, but was consistent. The head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, said this on Sunday, September 17, in an interview with CNN.
"They didn't fail. There are comments that somehow this offensive failed, but it didn't fail," Milley said.
He emphasized that there were some successes and “Ukraine has great combat strength.”
However, Milley said the counteroffensive was progressing more slowly than expected.
Defense forces liberated the village of Klishchievka in the Bakhmut direction of the Donetsk region.
The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, assured that the weather will not stop the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces . According to him, the Ukrainian counter-offensive will continue after the onset of cold and wet weather, even when the cold makes it more difficult to conduct military operations.
