The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valerii Zaluzhnyi and the Chief of the US Joint Staff General Mark Milley have strengthened cooperation and discussed Ukraine's offensive

This was stated by political scientist Andrey Piontkovsky on Espreso TV channel.

"It was a much greater cooperation. The two generals discussed a specific plan for a specific offensive operation. The same one that General Zaluzhnyi said more than a month ago in an interview with the Economist magazine. He stated he was standing 80 kilometers from Melitopol. He was ready to go this way, liberate this city and thereby break the Russian defense system, turning the entire grouping in Crimea and Kherson region into a big cauldron. But for this he needed…," he said.

Andrey Piontkovsky claimed General Zaluzhnyi made modest demands in terms of modern concepts: 300 tanks, 700 armored personnel carriers and 600 howitzers.

"I believe that the two generals were discussing the specific course of the operation, the offensive of Ukraine and its Western allies," the political analyst emphasized.
