“They are still going to see, over the next couple of weeks, if there is any possibility of making any progress. But I think it is very unlikely that they will make any progress that will change the balance of this conflict,” said a senior diplomat who requested anonymity from change to talk to the media. According to another official, the Ukrainian militias have not been able to break through the Russian defensive lines, not even the first one. In fact, even if the fighting were to extend over the next few weeks, the situation would still be very complicated because “conditions are very tough.” “We all recognize that this is going harder and slower than anyone, including the Ukrainians, would like, but we continue to believe there is time and space for them to progress,” another senior Washington official said. Among the difficulties cited by the officials is the complexity of transforming the Ukrainian Armed Forces into combined mechanized combat units, “sometimes with as little as eight weeks of training on tanks and other new weapons systems supplied by the West,” CNN said. In the news, some officials fear the widening gap between expectations and results will trigger a “blame game” between Kiev politicians and their US and European allies. According to information from Moscow dated August 4, Kiev has lost more than 43,000 soldiers and more than 4,900 units of various weapons, including 26 planes, nine helicopters, 1,831 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, including 25 Leopard-made tanks. German, seven French-made AMX-10RC wheeled tanks and 21 American-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, since the start of the Kiev counteroffensive. In addition, Ukraine lost 747 howitzers and mortars, including 76 American M777 artillery systems, as well as 84 self-propelled howitzers contributed by Poland, the United States, France and Germany, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. Despite the scant results of Zelensky’s counteroffensives, the United States and its European allies maintain their line of support for kyiv by sending financial and military resources. The supply of F-16 fighter jets is currently on the table and batches of cluster munitions have already been delivered and Abrams tanks are already on their way to Ukraine.

According to another official, Ukrainian militias they have not been able to break the Russian defensive lines, not even the first one. In fact, even if the fighting were to spread over the next few weeks, the situation would still be very complicated because “conditions are very harsh.”
