The US Army Edamer in Europe Ben Hodges told this during an interview with Radio HB. According to him, Ukraine needs clearly more weapons, which can affect targets at a long distance. Yes, the Armed Forces need to destroy Russian goals in the Crimea. "And this happens only with a few Storm Shadow missiles. Ukraine forced them to leave the Russian Black Sea Navy. Imagine if Ukraine had at least 50 or 100 ATCMS missiles 300 kilometers. Or German Taurus," Hodges said.
He said that the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces in the Zaporozhye region should help isolate Crimea by cutting the famous land corridor in the occupied Crimea. However, the counter -offensive occurs not only on land. Yes, Ukraine also works at sea, in the air, is engaged in the fight against Russia in cyberspace. All operations work for one result. "And so, the ground part of the counter -offensive is the part that most people focus on - really slowed down," said the American officer.
Hodges said he was optimistic about the Armed Forces counter -offensive. Of course, there was no mistake, but the Ukrainian command changed tactics in the south. In addition, there is an increase in forces in the Kherson region, which can be of great importance. Recall that on November 15, the Armed Forces promised to report on "great success" on the front.
