Ukraine hoped to unleash punishing counterattacks on Russian troops. Experts explain why the push fell short.
“Strategic objectives have not been achieved this year, and it’s hardly possible” in the remaining months, Lieutenant General Ihor Romanenko, former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, told Al Jazeera.
He blamed Western allies for months-long delays of weaponry and a reluctance to supply more sophisticated arms.
“Weaponry should be supplied on time, not the way our allies are doing it,” he said. Ukrainian “generals asked [for certain arms] a year ago, but they still didn’t supply even the types of arms that had been agreed upon.”
