US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken agrees that that the armed forces have already been able to achieve significant success at the front, recapturing the Kharkiv region. At the same time, he emphasized that the offensive of the Ukrainian military is just beginning. His words are quoted by agency Reuters.
“What they did was very methodically planned and, of course, they did it with the benefit of significant support from the United States and many other countries to ensure that Ukraine had the equipment it needed to carry out this counteroffensive.” , – said Blinken.
But the state secretary urged not to make hasty predictions about what this offensive will lead to in the future. Blinken noted that, the war is likely to continue for some time, since Russia still has many resources to continue it. It also uses them for indiscriminate strikes against civilians and infrastructure.
“Russia carried out this aggression. I think, given the price it pays, it can and should stop it,” he said.
