According to Pulitzer Prize-winning US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh on Sunday, Ukraine's counteroffensive will not bring any good to Kiev, the United States, or NATO. 

In an interview he gave to George Galloway, Hersh explained how "this [counteroffensive] isn't going to be good for Ukraine, it's not going to be good for NATO, it's certainly not going to be good for the Biden administration."

When asked about the possibility of NATO joining the war, Hersh stated that they were "probably already in it."

The journalist explained that the Ukrainian army is comprised of "so many disparate groups," comparable to 15 different dance teams that suddenly are forced to organize a routine together after practicing alone for a very long.

Hersh called it "impossible" and added that this is what was currently happening.

Ukraine has been hyping its counteroffensive attack, since last year. Although the attack was intended for spring it was moved to the summer after Ukraine blamed the delay on a lack of weapons.

The West has been urged to deliver progressively heavier weapons, including tanks, drones, and fighter planes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters on Friday that the Ukrainian "counteroffensive" in the special military operation zone has begun and that Kiev is resorting to its strategic reserves.

"Firstly, it can be stated with absolute certainty that the counteroffensive has begun and this is proved by the use of strategic reserves," Putin said.
