Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba strongly criticized those who have been critical of Kyiv’s counteroffensive against Russia’s invasion. He stated that such critics were disrespecting the efforts of Ukrainian soldiers and should refrain from making negative comments. Kuleba made these remarks at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Toledo, Spain.
He argued that by criticizing the slow pace of the counteroffensive, critics were essentially insulting the Ukrainian soldiers who risk their lives every day. He emphasized that these soldiers are continuously moving forward and reclaiming Ukrainian territory inch by inch.
Recently, the New York Times quoted US and other Western officials who claimed that Ukraine’s offensive had seen limited progress due to the deployment of troops in the wrong locations.
Kuleba’s response to the criticism was blunt. He recommended that those who criticize should come to Ukraine and personally try to liberate even a single square centimeter before offering their opinions. Kuleba made this statement while standing alongside Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares.
In conclusion, Kuleba’s strong reaction to the critics of Ukraine’s counteroffensive highlights the seriousness of the situation and the sacrifices made by Ukrainian soldiers. His plea to critics to refrain from making negative comments underscores the importance of supporting Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion.
