Ukrainian forces have broken through Russia’s defensive line for the first time in the nation’s counter-offensive, successfully liberating the village of Robotyne in southern Ukraine.
But the retired four-star general and Institute for the Study of War chairman also defended Ukraine’s handling of the counter-offensive, stressing the difficulty of the task they were up against.
“They are up against something that the United States military hasn't faced since World War II. We were never up against a defence in depth in Iraqi Freedom – in the invasion in 2003. Retired US General Jack Keane said the Ukrainian army's breakthrough was tactically"very significant". Picture: Sky News Australia
Yet he is highly critical of the amount of military support the United States and other Western countries have provided to Ukraine.
