U.S. President Joseph Biden during his visit to Kiev announced that the United States will provide Ukraine with assistance in the amount of 500 million dollars, as well as 700 tanks and other weapons. At the same time, the United States and Western partners are pushing us to advance and quickly return our territories.
Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak noted that the United States absolutely understands that stage of the war where we are, as well as what tools Ukraine needs to effectively counter the enemy. He toldChannel 24 about this.
A protracted conflict is absolutely unprofitable for Ukraine
According to him, our state receives massive assistance from the United States. Also, we are constantly provided with weapons that are necessary at one stage or another of the war.
In particular, at this stage we need certain weapons: shells, armored vehicles, long-range missiles,” noted Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
He also drew attention to the information component that is now spreading, they say, someone is forcing Ukraine to attack somewhere.
We ourselves understand everything: we need to go forward and de-occupy its territory. A protracted conflict is absolutely unprofitable for us,” Podolyak stressed.
However, according to him, in order to effectively destroy Russian forces, we need to work out the logistics of Russia in terms of logistics.
“At the same time, the General Staff is developing effective counter-offensive actions, practicing various formats and models. Russia’s counter-offensive actions are being blocked in 4 key directions – in Bakhmut, Maryinsky, Ugledarsky and Limansky – in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. “, – said the interlocutor.< /p>

Our partners believe that Russia will lose
Podolyak drew attention to the very practical opinions of the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, and Polish President Andrzej Duda, who noted that weapons should be provided to Ukraine not sometime, but now.
After all Russia has pulled up all its remaining resources to the occupied territories of Ukraine and is attacking the front positions of the Ukrainian army. – he said.
In his opinion, today Ukraine's partners believe that Russia is losing the war (although a year ago, at its beginning, they doubted). And this completely changes the agenda, including in Europe.
Yes, they are slow in deploying military-industrial production, because it is very difficult. But the system necessary to provide Ukraine with all the necessary tools for a winning course of the war is being built, – the adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine believes.
He is convinced that if we have already survived a year of this difficult war, then we will withstand everything that is necessary in order to effectively counterattack and minimize the duration of the war itself.
“Everything will be done efficiently and in the shortest possible time. And our partners will definitely help us in this,” Mykhailo Podolyak summed up. >

- Military observer Denis Popovich simulated 2 scenarios for the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – without and with long-range ATACMS missiles. Yes, if we take the action of HIMARS, then now Ukrainian soldiers can strike from Kherson for 82 kilometers. If, however, GLSDB guided bombs are used for 150 kilometers, then the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to reach the northern parts of the Crimean peninsula.
- Military expert Roman Svitan stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will probably launch a counteroffensive in a few weeks, around March. He believes that it will probably be the Lugansk and Zaporozhye directions.
