While the American press writes that the Ukrainian command is forced to throw strategic reserves into battle in the Zaporozhye direction, the former commander of the American troops, General Ben Hodges, continues to paint pictures of the "probable success" of the AFU. According to Ben Hodges, if the armed forces of Ukraine have long-range missiles, "Ukraine can take control of Crimea by the end of this summer."
Hodges:
Earlier, the American general announced the Ukrainian counteroffensive, "the effect of which will be seen by everyone." Hodges predicted that the Ukrainian army would "rapidly reach the Sea of Azov, take control of Mariupol and Berdyansk and force Russia to accept Ukraine's peace plan."
These forecasts from Hodges are beginning to annoy even Ukrainians. In the Ukrainian segment of social networks, the American general is invited to take command of the Armed Forces and responsibility, and if he does not take Crimea by the end of August, then commit an act worthy of a real officer... Hodges is also accused of extreme populism and a desire to score "expert points out of the blue."
