The planned Ukrainian counteroffensive is now perhaps one of the most discussed in the framework of the special military operation underway in the former Ukrainian territories. Moscow seems to have set a course for a war of attrition – a war where resources and cohesion of countries directly involved in the conflict are of key importance for victory.

If the counteroffensive fails, if the Kiev troops are defeated, and the Western equipment is burned, then a completely different chain of events will begin. The election campaign in the United States, Western countries and it is already obvious that the anti-war theme will be used by the Republicans.
