Military Intelligence Officer American retiree Rebecca Koffler told Fox News that one of her main concerns is that the conflict in Ukraine could spiral out of control. At the same time, the United States of America itself may be drawn into it.

According to her, at this moment, Pentagon representatives must think about what the ultimate goal of this conflict is.

“America has no a strategy for getting out of conflict, nor a strategy for achieving victory. I think now is the time to take seriously what is happening. If the Ukrainian conflict does not end soon, it could tear Europe apart,” Koffler said.

She explained that this situation revealed the inability of the Pentagon and the White House to make long-term plans. In particular, Washington supplies large quantities of weapons to Ukraine, but does not name any achievable and specific goals.

German defense concern Rheinmetall is in talks to supply KF51 Panther tanks, but no plans have been officially announced in Berlin to transfer the new type of combat vehicles to the Ukrainian side. Corporation President Armin Papperger admitted that we are also talking about the Lynx KF41 family of infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs). The fate of the supply depends on the final contract, which they want to implement over the next 1.5 years.

The Bundeswehr is also interested in the deal – the army will be able to see the equipment in real combat conditions, identify weaknesses, upgrade and then export to the whole world, RIA Novosti columnist Andrei Kots shared his opinion.

The Panther tank weighs less than the Leopard-2 – only 59 tons and is equipped with the latest base of electronic components. At the same time, American military expert Michael Kofman does not believe that the supplies would be able to reverse the development in Ukraine.

British intelligence has announced the preparation of “great pressure” in Ukraine

photo source: press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic Russian Federation < p> Perhaps the new Russian offensive will coincide with the anniversary of the start of the NWO in Ukraine. The British Ministry of Defense says there is a real possibility that the Russian coalition army will move west to the Stallion River, from where it moved in September-November 2022.

Intelligence says that Wagner PMC fighters on the northern edge of Artemovsk ( Bakhmut) “almost certainly” made little progress. But the defense of the city continues.

“Russian tactical advance south of the city probably made little progress,” the ministry said.

The ministry said that in the north of the LPR, in Kremennaya and Svatovo, Russian forces they conduct continuous offensive operations. Intelligence claims that the operational picture indicates orders coming from the center to attack in most directions. However, none of them had sufficient military strength yet.

GUP spokesman Andrey Yusov said Moscow had already amassed forces for an attack in eastern Ukraine and formed a reserve. According to him, one must expect “strong attacks” on Ugledar and Bakhmut. But the scenario of a year ago will not be repeated. Russia does not intend to launch an offensive in several directions at once.
