Senior Western Diplomat: "Highly Unlikely," for Ukraine "To…Change the Balance of The Conflict"

CNN reports Aug. 8 that four senior U.S. and Western officials gave CNN “sobering” assessments about Ukraine’s military forces’ ability to “retake” significant territory. Up to now, CNN has served as one of the most outrageous fabricators of stories, and cheer-leaders for the British-U.S.-Global NATO proxy war in Ukraine.

In the article, titled, “Western Allies Receive Increasingly ‘Sobering’ Updates on Ukraine’s Counteroffensive,” CNN writes, “Weeks into Ukraine’s highly anticipated counteroffensive, Western officials describe increasingly ‘sobering’ assessments about Ukrainian forces’ ability to retake significant territory, four senior US and western officials briefed on the latest intelligence told CNN.

“‘They’re still going to see, for the next couple of weeks, if there is a chance of making some progress. But for them to really make progress that would change the balance of this conflict, I think, it’s extremely, highly unlikely,’ a senior western diplomat told CNN.”

Representative Mike Quigley, an Illinois Democrat, who “recently returned from meetings in Europe with US commanders training Ukrainian forces,” asserts, “Our briefings are sobering. We’re reminded of the challenges they face. This is the most difficult time of the war.”
