The representative of the US National Security Council, Michael Carpenter, said that the offensive of the Russian invaders in the north of the Kharkiv region in May was a failure.
He said this in an interview that was broadcast on the telethon “Edyni Novyni”.
“Ukraine stopped Russia, and we hope that Ukraine will continue to exercise its right, which clearly coincides with the UN charter, to defend itself,” Carpenter emphasized.
He also added that the number of Russian casualties was very high, but they did not achieve any goals.
- Meanwhile, the Russian army is deploying its own forces to strengthen its positions in the Kharkiv direction. Analysts of the Institute for the Study of War believe that this indicates a possible second phase of the Russian offensive in the region.
Let’s hope that the June offensive ends the same way.
