The situation on the battlefield in Ukraine is “very dynamic,” the White House cautiously commented on Tuesday, following the appearance of some press articles citing American and Western officials as concerned about the development of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, AFP reported. and EFE, quoted by Agerpres.

“I don’t want to play the general in the hall,” said Jake Sullivan, the US executive’s national security adviser, during a discussion with reporters. “I cannot establish the probability or predict how events will ultimately develop in this war, but we will continue to support Ukraine in its counteroffensive efforts,” he said.

“It is true that the Russians are attacking in the northeast, it is also true that the Ukrainians are defending the northeast with some effectiveness,” Jake Sullivan assured.

“Ukraine is also attacking” and “conquering positions in the south” of the country, he clarified.

“I have always clearly explained that this battlefield is very dynamic, that it is not like a TV series, where one episode during which Ukraine only attacks and Russia only defends, then an episode during which Russia only attacks and Ukraine only defends” , – said the adviser.

“The US administration is doing its best to give the best advice, but Ukraine makes its own sovereign decisions”

According to Sullivan, “given the impressively low effectiveness of Russian forces during the first months of the conflict, they have come a long way.”

“The U.S. government needs to show some modesty in its behavior on the battlefield,” and the Biden administration is “doing everything it can to give the best advice,” but “Ukraine is making its own sovereign decisions” about military strategy, Sullivan said. .

The US is the main supplier of military aid to Ukraine and coordinates the West’s support for Kyiv.
