 Ukraine's counter-offensive not to stop for winter, US general. Ukraine will continue offensive operations in the winter period, despite the adverse weather conditions. This was stated by the US chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Charles Brown, who, for the first time after being appointed to the post, took part in the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group this time held in Brussels. According to Brown, he became convinced of this after speaking with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Defense Minister Rustem Umarov. As we listened to President Zelensky and Minister of Defense Umarov, I don't see that their plans regarding continuing the offensive operation into the winter will change, said Brown. The general assured that the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee under his leadership will continue to work on providing Ukraine with the required assistance, noting that the US mission and objectives as well as support for Ukraine remain unchanged. Brown noted that the Russian leadership miscalculated when they decided to invade Ukraine. Russia came up against the unshakable resolve of the free people of Ukraine as they stood against being drawn back into the shackles of oppression. The general expressed his belief that the constant collective support of Ukraine with weapons will enable it to protect its people and regain its territory.
