the lightning offensive of the soldiers of kyiv, a paying strategy

It is a counter-offensive whose results thwart all predictions. And the strategy, for the time being, commands the respect even of European and American generals. Within days, the Ukrainian army regained more than 3,000 square kilometers of lost territory. In the past, the Russian army had already withdrawn from certain places, to regroup better elsewhere. However, this is the first time that it has been routed, as the Russian Ministry of Defense has acknowledged.

“We really have a total collapse of the front, with the loss of a lot of equipment, with thousands of prisoners of war being carried out, and an inability for the Russians to reorganize to recreate a front line”, analyzes Xavier Tytelman, former military aviator and editor-in-chief of “Air&Cosmos”. Ukraine launched a counter-offensive on August 29 towards Kherson (Ukraine). The Russians then stripped their troops to the North, to send reinforcements to the South. It is precisely in the North that the real Ukrainian counter-offensive began on September 6, entering through Balakliia (Ukraine), and pushing through the weakened Russians as far as Izioum (Ukraine).

The Ukrainians probably benefited from intelligence provided by the United States. These successes also show that the technological armaments sent by Europe and America are proving their worth.
