Kirby reported this information, URA-Inform reports.
Kirby noted that the United States of America does not yet see a serious ground offensive by the aggressor army of the Russian Federation. However, he does not rule out that it could begin when the ground becomes harder.
«We don't see much movement at the front. Neither side has made much progress, and we don't see any serious push from the Russians for any kind of ground offensive. And I do not exclude that they will not try this when the soil freezes,” Kirby said.
At the same time, he emphasized that the massive missile attack carried out by the Russian army in the direction of Ukraine 23 January, indicates attempts by the Russian Federation to undermine the resolve and resistance of the Ukrainian people and destroy Ukrainian air defense systems, but these goals cannot be achieved.
«So “, partly this is an attempt to break the backbone of the Ukrainian people, but also an attempt to force Ukrainians to continue using ammunition,” the White House representative summed up.
Recall that it was previously reported that the Russian Federation is preparing for more massive attack on Ukraine: Svitan announced the probable date of the attack.
