Ukraine, secret border meeting with NATO leaders: “Change of strategy”, what happens

While there are questions about the effects of the death of Wagner’s boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, who crashed with his deputy and 8 others in Russia during an air transfer, fighting continues in Ukraine. UK intelligence services see a “realistic possibility” that Russian forces will step up the “intensity” of their offensive in northeast Ukraine over the next two months after losing ground further south. According to British experts, Russian attacks are possible on the axis between the towns of Kupyansk, in the Kharkiv region, and Lyman, in Donetsk, probably with the aim of advancing towards the Oskil river and protecting the territories already occupied. .

According to military analysts, there have already been “small-scale attacks in the northeast, in the Kupyansk-Lyman sector” with which Russian forces have made “limited progress”, according to the assessment released this morning by the UK Ministry of Defense. All at a time when the counter-offensive launched by Ukrainian troops “put pressure on Russian forces in Bakhmut and southern Ukraine”. In this part of the country, “Ukraine continues to gradually gain ground”.

In short, we are moving in two directions as Kiev claims: the Ukrainian counter-offensive “is proceeding according to the plans previously discussed with the partners”, said Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov in an interview with German newspapers, retaken by Tass, which considered the news of US criticism of the progress of the Ukrainian Armed Forces operation to be false. According to the Guardian, eleven days ago a NATO delegation met with some Ukrainian military leaders in a secret location on the border with Poland to discuss precisely the critical issues of the Ukrainian offensive. The British newspaper talks about a five-hour meeting between NATO representatives – with the participation of the North American general Christopher Cavoli, supreme commander of the NATO forces in Europe, and the British admiral Tony Radakin, chief of staff of the army of the Kingdom Kingdom – and the head of the Ukrainian Army, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, with the entire command staff, to “reset” the military strategy.
