‘GREATEST COUNTEROFFENSIVE SINCE WORLD WAR II’: Military experts are gushing over Ukraine’s stunning military advances over the past 72 hours, which broke through Russian lines in the Kharkiv region, reclaimed more than 1,200 square miles of occupied territory, and forced hundreds of humiliated Russian troops to retreat in disarray, abandoning their equipment and running for their lives. “They just dropped rifles on the ground,” one villager told the Washington Post.
Meanwhile on Russian media, critics were arguing about who was responsible for the debacle and debating what Russian President Vladimir Putin should do next. “Russia is likely struggling to bring sufficient reserves forward across the Dnipro River to the front line,” the British Defense Ministry said in its daily Twitter update. “An improvised floating bridge Russia started over two weeks ago remains incomplete; Ukrainian long-range artillery is now probably hitting crossings of the Dnipro so frequently that Russia cannot carry out repairs to damaged road bridges.
Xi and Putin spoke by phone in mid-June but this will be their first face-to-face meeting since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and it comes as Putin’s military forces have suffered embarrassing setbacks in the past week, and the Pentagon said Moscow was seeking missiles and rockets from North Korea to replenish its dwindling ammunition stocks.
On Friday, the Pentagon announced an ambitious plan to speed up production of replacement weapons to replenish the U.S. arsenal. “As we work with industry to accelerate production on both replenishment systems and direct procurements under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative,” said Bill LaPlante, undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, at a Pentagon briefing.
“Through all that has changed over the last 21 years, the enduring resolve of the American people to defend ourselves against those who seek us harm, and to deliver justice to those responsible for attacks against our people, has never once faltered,” Biden said. “Our commitment to preventing another attack on the United States is without end.”
Meagher has advised members of Congress, as well as national and state leaders on strategic communications and press relations, according to the Pentagon, and also served as a senior public affairs official for Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.
