 U.S. announced the exact date of the start of the counter-attack of Ukraine. U.S. under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland told an audience in Kiev that Washington has been helping plan the Ukrainian counter-offensive against Russia for almost half a year. Even as you plan for the counter-offensive, which we have been working on with you for some four to five months, we are already beginning our discussions with the Ukrainian government and with friends in Kiev, both on the civilian side and on the military side, about Ukraine's long-term future. Nuland told the Kiev Security Forum via video link from the State Department. She added that the attack will be likely starting and moving concurrently, with events such as the NATO summit in Lithuania scheduled for July 11. According to Nuland, the U.S. is also planning for Ukraine's future military to deter Russia so wherever and however this ends, one year, six years, 16 years. We are not doing this again. She also painted a rosy picture of a future in which Ukraine would be the engine of Europe's revitalization and setting the democratic example for the whole world.
