Ukraine counter-offensive hopes didn’t come true - security official

Ukraine's counter-offensive hopes did not come true, a top security official has conceded.

In any case, Oleksiy Danilov, who co-ordinates the nation's conflict bureau, demanded: "That doesn't imply that triumph won't be our ally."

Kyiv is at present attempting to open new bundles of Western guide, remarkably in the US.

Mr Danilov accepts that in any event some tactical subsidizing will "unquestionably come through".

The secretary of the Public safety and Safeguard Chamber has been talking solely to the BBC.

In May, in front of the counter-hostile, he let us know that the next few months introduced a "noteworthy open door".

Considering those words now, he said: "In May, each resident in our nation believed that the conflict should end rapidly.

"There were trusts, yet they didn't work out as expected.
"The way that we have been guarding our country for a considerable length of time is as of now a major triumph."

Ukrainian powers had expected to reclaim wraps of an area acquired by Russia in its February 2022 attack, as well as removing Russian stock lines to Crimea.

In any case, lacking air predominance and confronted with impressive Russian guards, their endeavors seem to have slowed down as winter sets in.

Mr Danilov recognized they had been over-hopeful.

"Individuals now and then commit errors. You can't be A-grader for your entire life," he said.

He depicted the ongoing circumstance on the cutting edge as "extremely challenging" and said that old "reading material" for war - including Nato ones - "ought to be sent back to the chronicles".

There has been new accentuation in Ukraine on bracing guarded lines for the colder time of year.

Russia is accepted to be enclosing the town of Avdiivka and squeezing to assume full command over adjacent Marinka in the Donetsk area.

US help delay 'not a misfortune'

Mr Danilov was incredibly certain that US protection help would be supported, regardless of whether he wouldn't put a figure on what Ukraine could expect to get.

A $60bn bundle is as of now entangled in homegrown, sectarian legislative issues, with time expiring before the Christmas legislative break.

A minority of US conservative legislators have some serious doubts about sending further assets.

"On the off chance that it happens so we get a present before Christmas, we will be content with that."

He added: "Yet on the off chance that it will happen a piece later, it ought not be made into a misfortune."

Found out if Ukraine would lose the conflict assuming US help halted, he wouldn't engage the chance, since "truth is our ally".

"Will Putin annihilate us before mankind's eyes? Will he be murdering our kids, our ladies, our old men? Also, will the entire world watch with their eyes shut?

"Then the inquiry ought to be, in what world do we live?"

Mr Danilov additionally excused reports of strain between President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine's President, Valeriy Zaluzhny.

"I don't affirm that any such things that are being enunciated in the media today are genuine."
