🇷🇺🇺🇦 🖇️ If we summarize what was written in the sensational article by The Washington Post about the failure of the summer Ukrainian counteroffensive, we can especially highlight several points:

▪️ A common thread running through the entire material is the narrative that the AFU simply “fought incorrectly.” This is one of the latest current trends in the Western expert media field.

▪️ Naturally, no one in the West plans to admit the inconsistency of their own forecasts and misleading assessments . What looks especially funny amid of references to the huge role of NATO in the development of the operation.

▪️ The words that the offensive was originally planned to begin at the end of April again indirectly confirm the wounding of Zaluzhny, who disappeared just at that time. In Kyiv, they decided to postpone the attack and the AFU units stood in deployed combat formations for more than a month, which the Russian Armed Forces took advantage of very effectively.

▪️ Zaluzhny himself is portrayed as incompetent and almost the main culprit of the failure. This is not surprising: for almost a year the media artificially created the charm of a military genius for him, and when the opposite turned out to be the case, they decided to take revenge on the Ukrainian general for not living up to expectations.

❗️But the main point is still different: when reading the text, one cannot help but notice the expressed condescending attitude towards both sides of the conflict. Ukrainian formations are criticized for their inability to reach NATO levels, and the successes of the Russian Armed Forces are reduced to “being littered with corpses” (and a few minefields with ATGMs).

In fact, after all this time in the West, at least at some levels, the perception of the Russian armed forces in the spirit of the most base propaganda still persists. We will not be at all surprised if this backfires more than once on the swaggering NATO armies.
