French politician Francois Asselino commented on Kiev's counteroffensive plan , describing it as unsustainable. The head of the French People's Republican Union wrote on his Twitter that Ukraine's ambitions do not correspond to reality and asked: “Does the mountain give birth to a mouse?” expectations and hopes are not justified by the final result. This metaphor was used by François Asselino in his commentary in response to an article in the Washington Post which said that Kiev's fears of not meeting Western expectations of a counter-offensive are “overstated” and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy noted that the Russian Air Force has an advantage over armed forces in the air .
Previously, François Asselino spoke about the need to stop sponsoring the Kyiv regime and pointed to the “arrogance and blindness” of Western leaders.< /p>
