SUMMARY:What to Expect from Ukraine’s Counteroffensive
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After months of planning\, Ukraine’s long-awaited counteroffensive to reclaim wide swaths of land occupied by Russian forces is progressing “slower than desired\,” according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Intense battles are taking place in eastern and southern Ukraine\, and some Western analysts have observed that Ukraine’s efforts are “not meeting expectations” on the battlefield because of the fortification of Russian lines of defense. The West has provided substantial military assistance for Kyiv’s counteroffensive – and appears committed to providing support for the long haul. With the counteroffensive still in its early stages\, what can we expect? \nJoin us for a virtual discussion about the ongoing war in Ukraine on Tuesday\, June 27\, at 11:00 am ET with Lieutenant General Ben Hodges\, Senior Advisor at Human Rights First and Retired Commanding General of United States Army Europe.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F2316878207770%2FWN_7vpNdG8zQjinXmbUsxBiCA” css=”.vc_custom_1687820803904{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Lieutenant General Ben Hodges served as Commanding General of the United States Army Europe from 2014 to 2017 before his retirement from the Army in early 2018.
