Ukraine’s costly counteroffensive must produce results before NATO summit – Zelenskyy
The New Voice of Ukraine via Yahoo ^ | June 30th, 2023 | Unattributed

Ukraine's partners expect rapid success in the counteroffensive before the July NATO summit in Vilnius, but every meter of liberated territory comes at a high cost, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with Spanish media, as reported by broadcaster RTVE on June 30.

"We must show results before the (NATO) summit (on July 11-12), but every meter comes at a cost of lives," said Zelenskyy.

The president revealed that the plans for Ukraine's counteroffensive have been slowed down in recent months due to heavy rains. He called on partners to continue supporting Ukraine with weapons. Zelenskyy noted that during the autumn 2022 counteroffensive, "with respect to our allies," the supply of artillery was “too late.”

"We had to stop because we couldn't advance; advancing would have meant losing more people, and we didn't have artillery," he emphasized, reiterating that Ukraine values the lives of its troops above all.

The driver is the unstable political coalition in the west. They need a "win", and soon.

So they are pushing Ukraine beyond their means.

“So they are pushing Ukraine beyond their means.”

But since they’re just dead Ukrainians (other than dozens of Western military advisors dressed in Ukrainian drag), why should the Neocons be bothered?

“Please God, help NATO to come to its senses.”

NATO doesn’t get a say in it. This ENTIRE Ukraine problem is due to one American bitch who can’t get past the fact that Stalin was mean to her Ukrainian grandparents.

NeoCon psychopaths don’t care about American lives, much less Ukr lives.

Great Idea, let the Ruling Elite become the Leading Elite.

In another month or so the lake bed behind the dneiper dam may have dried up enough to allow heavy vehicles to cross.
