“There were serious disagreements between Zelensky and me.” Zaluzhni

Zaluzhny privately claims that the Ukrainian counteroffensive organized in the summer of 2023 failed “because the president and a number of other officials did not provide enough resources to the army.”

“With our NATO partners, we drew up a plan according to which an “iron fist” was created in the southern part of the front, through which the Ukrainian troops planned to go to the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, cutting off the Russian land corridor leading to Crimea,” said Zaluzhny.

According to the Ukrainian general, however, the weapons and units intended for the counter-attack were accumulated not in one, but in several parts of the front, weakening the power of the Ukrainian attack.
