Former Supreme Commander of NATO Allied Forces Europe James Jones spoke out about the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counter-offensive at the front. According to the general, our state lacked a “key element” for success.

At the same time, Jones emphasized that Putin’s desire for our state has not changed. After all, the Russian president still seeks to completely take over Ukraine.

Jones stressed that he does not believe that there is any clear picture now in relation to the Ukrainian counter-offensive. He also believes that success was hampered by the absence of one important element.

Ukraine's spring counteroffensive, launched in June, unfortunately lacked one key element: air power, the general said.

He also noted that the Russians had enough time to replace areas where they believed Ukrainian Ground Forces would advance. And that caused everything to slow down.

At the same time, Jones emphasized that the truth remains clear: Putin’s ambitions to seize the whole of Ukraine will not come true.

Ukrainian military liberates the territory from the occupiers

• The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said on November 28 that the Ukrainian military has made progress in several areas. In particular, they liberate the territory of our state, driving out enemies from there.
• The military emphasized that the Defense Forces continue assault operations south of Bakhmut, Donetsk region, and are also advancing the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Melitopol direction. In these directions, our military inflicts damage on the invaders and exhausts them along the entire front line.
• In addition, Ukrainian troops continued offensive operations in the west of the Zaporozhye region and advanced forward. Thus, geolocation footage indicates that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have advanced slightly south of Rabotinoye.
• In other directions of the front, the Defense Forces contained the Russian aggression. In just one day, our military repelled 84 attacks by the Russian army along the entire front line.
