US Vice President J.D. Vance said that Russia’s capabilities to conduct large-scale offensive operations on the front are approaching zero. According to him, Ukraine’s defense strategy creates the prerequisites for ending the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by The Sunday Times<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Vance stated that the widespread use of drones and modern surveillance tools has made a defensive strategy more effective for Ukraine than conducting large-scale offensive operations.<\/p>\n

According to the US Vice President, in the summer of 2023, most Western allies, including the administration of then US President Joe Biden, insisted on a Ukrainian counteroffensive. At the same time, he called this decision a “strategic and tactical disaster.”<\/p>\n

Vance noted that the current administration of US President Donald Trump supports an approach that combines the negotiation process with maximum defense of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“This approach has been much more fruitful, because it is easier to be on the defensive than on the offensive. It has allowed the Ukrainians to use their tactical advantage a little better. Frankly, the Russians are now in a situation where what they can achieve through prolonged offensive operations is negligible – approaching zero. This may well create the space we need to see this through,” said J.D. Vance.<\/p>\n

He also emphasized that Russian troops are paying dearly for every square kilometer of captured territory, while Ukraine, with the support of the US and NATO, has relied on defense.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that the Russian army is trying to attack along the entire front line<\/a> . Currently, there is an intensification of hostilities even in those areas where it was relatively calm before.<\/p>\n

Recall that the pace of the Russian army’s offensive at the front has fallen by about 16 times over the past year<\/a> . In June, the occupiers were able to capture only about 30 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory.<\/p>\n
