Ukraine's counteroffensive against the Russian army is just beginning. This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at a press conference in Mexico City.
"What they did was very methodically planned... First of all, it is the result of extraordinary courage and resilience of Ukrainians. The offensive has one clear goal: to return the lands captured as a result of the Russian aggression," Blinken.
He also noted that it is still too early to say where the result of the Ukrainian counteroffensive will lead. And the war is likely to continue for some time, since Russia has significant forces and weapons in Ukraine, which it continues to use "indiscriminately", not only against the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but also against civilians and civilian infrastructure.
At the same time, Blinken emphasized that the offensive was provided with significant support of the necessary funds from the United States.
"Russia committed this aggression. I think, given the price she's paying, she can and should stop it," he said.
