The Times on the war and the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: British military was the 'brain' of the anti-Putin coalition.


According to The Times, the Ukrainian counteroffensive in 2023 had the support of Great Britain. Working alongside the USA and other partners, British military leaders played a crucial role in supplying weapons to Ukraine. They were key figures in the anti-Putin coalition.
The Times gained access to classified information revealing how London maintained good relations between Washington and Kyiv during the preparation and execution of the counteroffensive. British military leaders were pivotal figures in this process and earned the respect of both their Ukrainian and American colleagues.
However, The Times notes that differences between the USA and Ukraine regarding the counteroffensive grew long before it began. There are indications that Great Britain attempted to support the complicated relations between both sides. Furthermore, Ukrainian forces did not achieve the expected success due to the division of their combat power.
British diplomacy managed to unblock the situation and bring the two sides closer together, leading to a meeting between high-ranking representatives of the Ukrainian and British armies. In this context, the British military team played a central role in supporting Ukraine and keeping the USA on the side of the country.
The article from The Times also highlights potential risks of military commitments to Ukraine and the need for political clarity. Analysts note that these commitments could last for decades and lead to the danger of being drawn into conflict.
