West concerned over Ukrainian failures, needs progress to justify aid

The US and other Western countries are growing increasingly anxious over the lack of any substantial efficacy in the Ukrainian army’s actions which failed to deliver on the West’s hopes and its aid to the Kiev regime during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, China’s Global Times newspaper reported on Monday, citing experts.

"Chinese experts interviewed by the Global Times noted the announcement of Ukraine's counterattack came at a time when anxiety is growing in Western countries, especially the US, as little sign of victory is seen on the Ukrainian side on the battlefield," its article entitled "Ukraine announces counteroffensive under US' pressure" said.
