At the moment, the situation on the Ukrainian front remains difficult and it is rather difficult to say whether any of the opponents is ready to significantly change it in their own favor.. But this may happen in the fall, when Ukraine will begin to receive military assistance from the United States under Lend-Lease.. This opinion was expressed by expert Petr Chernik on the air of the national news telethon..

He believes that now the war is moving into a protracted stage, but the Ukrainians have already managed to do the almost impossible, stopping the Russians, who at times prevailed in numbers and weapons..

“In my opinion, we, Ukrainians, are in the phase of consolidating success in terms of containing the “second army of the world” on our territory.. The historical phenomenon lies in the fact that, in fact, the 22nd army of the world, that is, the Ukrainians, and in fact the entire consolidated nation that entered the battle, stopped perhaps the largest monster of our time that exists in nature. It's still a long way from the end of this war.. In my opinion, everything is moving to the stage of a protracted war,” Chernik said..

The expert added that a real turning point on the battlefield could happen after the start of the lend-lease agreement by the United States.. Chernik believes that Western weapons, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine may receive this fall, will give Ukraine the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive. In particular, he notes the importance of strengthening aviation at the expense of American F-15 and F-16 fighters..

Why the aggressor failed the first stage of the invasion and failed to succeed in the second?

What tasks should our army solve at the third stage in order to oust the Russians from Ukraine? What are the consequences of a truce to which Putin will persuade Ukraine? The answers to these questions and the forecast for the coming months can be found in the article by Major General, Head of the Center for the Study and Counteraction of Hybrid Threats Sergey Savchenko “Expecting powerful fire training and counteroffensive? It will not happen. Everything has already begun"
