Biden Officials Reportedly Worry That Ukrainian Offensive is 'Behind Schedule'

As the Ukrainian “counteroffensive” that started earlier this month now appears to be grinding to a halt, with Kiev troops failing to breach even the first Russian defensive line, US government officials have apparently become somewhat disappointed by this turn of events.

According to one US newspaper, White House officials have been privately fretting about the progress of the Ukrainian offensive while publicly urging people to be patient, with one senior administration official describing its results as “sobering.”The newspaper also notes that, despite failing to produce any meaningful gains on the battlefield, Kiev forces have already lost a considerable amount of military hardware that was supplied to them by the West.Over 15 percent of the Bradley infantry fighting vehicles – at least 17 out of 113 – provided to Kiev by the United States have been destroyed or damaged during the futile attempt by Ukrainian forces to reach Russian defensive lines, if the media outlet’s information is to be believed.In the beginning of this month, Ukrainian forces launched what appears to be the much-anticipated "counteroffensive" that the regime in Kiev has been announcing for months.Despite being provided vast quantities of Western military hardware and weaponry by the US and its allies and receiving training from NATO instructors, the Ukrainian forces have so far demonstrated remarkable aptitude to losing that military hardware and taking heavy casualties without making any meaningful gains in the field.

As the Ukrainian “counteroffensive” that started earlier this month now appears to be grinding to a halt, with Kiev troops failing to breach even the first Russian defensive line, US government officials have apparently become somewhat disappointed by this turn of events.
According to one US newspaper, White House officials have been privately fretting about the progress of the
Ukrainian offensive while publicly urging people to be patient, with one senior administration official describing its results as “sobering.”
“They’re behind schedule,” the official reportedly said.
The newspaper also notes that, despite failing to produce any meaningful gains on the battlefield, Kiev forces have
already lost a considerable amount of military hardware that was supplied to them by the West.
Over 15 percent of the Bradley infantry fighting vehicles – at least 17 out of 113 – provided to Kiev by the United States have been destroyed or damaged during the futile attempt by Ukrainian forces to reach Russian defensive lines, if the media outlet’s information is to be believed.
In the beginning of this month, Ukrainian forces launched what appears to be the much-anticipated "counteroffensive" that the regime in Kiev has been announcing for months.
Despite being provided vast quantities of Western military hardware and weaponry by the US and its allies and receiving training from NATO instructors, the Ukrainian forces have so far demonstrated remarkable aptitude to losing that military hardware and taking heavy casualties without making any meaningful gains in the field.
