According to today's Russian television website on August 10th, John Kirby, the strategic communication coordinator of the White House National Security Council, stated in an interview with CNN that the Kiev regime's counterattack did not achieve the success that Ukrainians had previously hoped for.

Kirby said, "Even Ukrainians themselves, including President Zelensky, say they are not advancing as fast as they hoped, but there is still progress." He said that the Ukrainian army has not given up trying, but people are completely unclear about how far the Ukrainian army can advance, where it can go, or what results it can achieve.

Meanwhile, an article in The Washington Post pointed out that in the past few months, Ukrainian officials and their Western partners have launched a counterattack, hoping that the weapons and trained soldiers provided by the West can help reverse the course of the war. However, as the author of the article points out, after two months of counterattack, the narrative of unity and tenacity has begun to crumble.

Previously, Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, emphasized that it was very difficult for the Ukrainian military to advance towards Russian positions in the special military operation zone because "they had to cross very dense and obviously extremely dangerous minefields.".

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 4th that the Ukrainian military lost over 43000 soldiers and approximately 5000 pieces of various equipment during the counterattack from June to July, including 26 aircraft and 25 Panther tanks.

Sergei Tsekov, a member of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian Federal Council, said that the joy brought to Western countries by the success of Ukrainian military tactics in the spring of 2022 has now disappeared. He emphasized that all these so-called tactical successes of the Ukrainian army are actually tactical traps set by the Russian army.

Chekov said, "Now they know that everything is far from simple. They understand the full strength of the Russian army. Our army has successfully launched defenses in all directions and is also preparing to turn into a counterattack. Americans and Europeans realize that Ukraine cannot win on the battlefield today, tomorrow, or at any time."

Vladimir Bruegel, an expert at the Russian Institute of International Humanities and Politics, said that the current question is how strong the West will continue to support the Kiev regime.

Konstantin Blokhin, a researcher at the Security Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that the West is disappointed with Ukraine's weak counterattack, "but this does not mean that we will soon see a abandonment of support for Ukraine, as many in the West view all expenses and corruption related to Ukraine as collateral losses.".

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
