The Armed Forces counter-offensive will be very strong and will reach the culmination in the first 3-4 days-the ex-head of the CIA

General David Petreus believes that Ukraine will be able to block Russia with a land corridor to the Crimea, but the peninsula itself will not be released yet. Former CIA Head, American General David Petreus expressed his opinion about the situation in Ukraine and the preparation of the counter -offensive of the APU on the air of BBC Radio 4. He believes that this offensive of the Ukrainian army will be truly impressive and can become very successful.

Petreus believes that the culmination of the Armed Forces counter-offensive will come within 3-4 days after the beginning. The Guardian writes about it. Petreus stated that, in his opinion, the counter -offensive of the Ukrainian army will be very impressive and the Armed Forces will be able to succeed in the implementation of the tasks. "I think the first wave of offensive will reach its climax in 72-96 hours.

It will be a breakthrough It will be a successful combined military operation, ”Petreus said. Petreus also said that Ukraine's accession to NATO is needed, but the wording should be "iron". "Currently, the main question is related to the formulations on the way to Ukraine's membership in NATO, which will be announced at NATO Summit on July 11 in Vilnius. This should be as iron as possible. Obviously, they are not going to become members of the Alliance as long as they continue war.

But it will be crucial, "the ex-head of the CIA said. As for the fears that Ukraine's support may be reduced in the event of a Republican President, Petreus believes that this will not happen. "Ukraine has a very strong two -party support. I think this trend will continue in the future. I think efforts will be made to convince those in the Republican Party that cast doubt on helping Ukraine that it is a bad idea.

If this counter -offense of the Ukrainian army is done, And I think it will be, it will be a good sign for Ukraine's further support, "Petreus said. As for the possible liberation of Crimea, the US General stated that most likely Ukraine would be able to block the Russian land corridor to the peninsula and the process of isolation of Crimea will begin. "I do not think that within the framework of this counter -offensive of the APU will be able to liberate Crimea.

But the process of isolation of the half -step will significantly change the dynamics of this war. Now Putin thinks that he will be able to beat Ukrainians, Europeans and Americans, and we have to do everything possible to enable Ukrainians to prove Ukrainians His wrongdoing, "Petreus said. We remind that Zelensky has declared a shortage of weapons for a successful counter -offensive of the Armed Forces.
