US officials are growing frustrated with how Ukraine is fighting the war, The New York Times said.
The officials are worried that Ukrainian forces are not consolidating their power in the right areas.
If Ukraine wants to speed up its counteroffensive, it will need to change tactics, they said.
As Ukraine presses ahead in its slow-moving counteroffensive against Russia, some US officials appear to be growing increasingly concerned.
Half a dozen US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The New York Times and other outlets that they are starting to question some of Ukraine's military tactics, including where on the frontline they are placing their combat units.
Ukrainian commanders are dividing their forces equally between the east and the south of the country when they should be consolidating them more in the south, the officials said.
They urged Ukraine to push through the vast minefields left behind by Russia in the area, even if this means losing more soldiers and equipment in the process, according to the reports.

Ukraine is winning so big that Zelensky fired the Defense Minister this weekend.
“Forward!” he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The narrative shifts, as you speaks about "Victoria Nuland and Anthony Blinken" who can be described as "shifts" when one removes the "f."
And how far will they go to achieve that “victory”? Direct US involvement on the ground in Ukraine? Create a false flag incident as a pretext for NATO intervention?
We are entering a dangerous phase of this war, a war Ukraine cannot win.
“They urged Ukraine to push through the vast minefields left behind by Russia in the area, even if this means losing more soldiers and equipment in the process, according to the reports.”

I am sure this tactic will go over like a lead balloon to the average Uke forced into service.
When you are the know it alls behind a proxy war, who cares about the little warriors sent in to die for your proxy war so that you can stay politically safe and avoid the appearance of body bags in your own countries?
Makes me sick.
80/20 Ukieburger.
Zelenskyy does not want the war to end quickly if at all. He gets much more great and corruption money the longer the war lasts. Of course, so do many elites in US govt and connected corporations.

So six UN-NAMED marxists in the Biden regime, according to the communist news paper the New York Times, think their vision of what to do is smarter than the people under attack?
My advice to the Ukrainians is to have a good belly laugh and then keep on keeping on.
Just wait for the Summer 2024 offensive. Or 2025 offensive.
I’m surprised the US deep-state gave its client state and puppets Kiev in that much operational freedom
They probably didn’t - but someone needs to be blamed.

Lols. This morning Telegraph posted a long story saying Ukraine is inches away from big victory. Can you guys all consult each other on what burger to sell before publishing?
The Forever War, much as it was predicted in George Orwell’s dystopian tale, “1984”.
Complete with Groupthink.
Excellent take......kudos.
Soon these wickedly evil people will be forced to acknowledge a crushing defeat. Moreso than other recent military defeats, this one is personal thanks to their heritage and quasi-religious backgrounds. I’m not sure how they will react when reality hits them, but it could be dangerous for Americans. They aren’t used to losing.
The Ukrainian offensive is done, a sad and pathetic joke from Zelinski and his US counterparts. They will rot in hell. The destruction of Ukraine to protect the ass wipe Bidens, is evil beyond words...
Maybe the Ukrainian Generals know something that our bureaucrats don't know. Anyone who believes that those "vast minefields" planted by the Russians aren't also covered by literally THOUSANDS of artillery guns hasn't got enough brain cells committed to Russian war doctrine to rub two of them together. There AIN'T no "pushing through" them, they'll get blown to kingdom come if they try. Call it "Operation Haig1916."
Stupid, arrogant, bloodthirsty bureaucrats, brave with other people's mortality, BIH.
Only if we send the NeoCons’ and Dem wine moms’ sons, daughters & brainwashed “trans” kids can this be fixed. The sooner the better.
New York Times = NeoCon Slimes.
You know who they are.
