The Armed Forces of Ukraine must independently determine when and how to liberate the territories captured by Russia in 2014-2015. The goal of the United States and allies is to promote the achievement of the goals of Ukraine, said the US presidential adviser to Jake Sullivan, whose words are given by Ukrainian media.
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine must themselves determine their tasks and their actions regarding what to do with the territories occupied in 2014-2015. The democratically elected president of Ukraine Zelensky must determine this, since he is responsible to the Ukrainian people for the goals of this war. Our goal, the USA and allies, is to promote the achievement of the goals of Ukraine. The main interest of the United States in this war is to promote the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, whether it is negotiating or on the battlefield, ”Sullivan noted.
The US president’s adviser noted the positive consequences of the counterattack of Ukrainian troops in the south of Ukraine and the Kharkov region. “This counterattack, in addition to all, shows that it is impossible to just say that Russia has forever occupied the occupied territories and impose its political system to them. This is an important signal both at the military-tactical and at the political diplomatic level. And we will support the efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with logistics, supply, supplies, weapons, equipment, ”Sullivan promises.
