SIMFEROPOL (Sputnik) - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's remarks about the success of the Ukrainian counteroffensive are nothing but false claims, while Kiev is succeeding only in wasting the lives of its citizens, Vladimir Rogov, a senior official of the Zaporozhye regional administration, told Sputnik on Friday.
On Wednesday, Blinken said that Washington had noticed "good progress" in Kiev’s counteroffensive.
"All this is nothing but fiction. If there is any progress, it is in the theft and laundering of Western money, including that of US taxpayers, which is being thrown into a black hole to keep the regime of [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky in power," Rogov said.
He noted that Ukraine has become a gray zone into which billions of dollars are poured and where Western elites are making money.

Putin: Ukraine's Counteroffensive is Failure, Not Stalemate
"The West and the leaders of the gang of drug addicts and Nazis [Ukrainian government] are doing business on the death of the people of the post-Ukrainian space," Rogov added.
The Ukrainian counteroffensive began on June 4. Kiev has thrown into battle brigades trained by NATO instructors and armed with Western equipment, including Leopard and Challenger tanks. Three months later, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had failed.
