"Ukrainian Soldiers' Bold Counteroffensive: 'Our Enemies Will Vanish' Book Reveals Resistance"

TL;DR Summary
A new book reveals that Ukraine's top general, Valery Zaluzhny, had pushed for a bold counteroffensive in 2022, aiming to hit Zaporizhzhia and sever the "land bridge" to isolate Russian forces in Crimea. However, the US disagreed and urged Ukraine to focus on a safer target, Kherson. The delayed counteroffensive in Zaporizhzhia in 2023 faced extensive Russian defenses and ultimately failed. Critics argue that the US's conservative approach to providing military aid to Ukraine may have missed opportunities for success on the battlefield.
