MOSCOW, June 26. /TASS/. Ukraine could suffer huge losses if it attempts an offensive ahead of the NATO summit that is scheduled for July, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"There are reports that the Kiev regime plans to organize another counteroffensive ahead of the NATO summit scheduled to take place in Washington from July 8-9," she said on the sidelines of the 12th St. Petersburg International Legal Forum.
The diplomat said the Ukrainian government has little concern that, if they go ahead with the plan, losses could be "even more terrible than the catastrophic losses that the Ukrainian armed forces suffered during the previous such reckless move in the summer of 2023."
Zakharova said there is direct relation between Kiev’s suicidal plans and the US presidential election this fall.
"The US election is on the line," she said. "US Democrats need at least some facts in support of their ‘Kiev regime’ project in order to keep the issue afloat. Everything is on the line now: the Kiev regime must demonstrate to its masters that the junta is still capable of resistance and for the sake of American interests is ready to send tens, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians - everyone they can find - into senseless, monstrous human wave attacks."
According to the diplomat, it is extremely important for the White House to "dress up [US President Joe] Biden's election program with another false achievement because he has staked his foreign policy on a project called Ukraine."
The Biden administration has nothing else to report on the foreign policy track, Zakharova said.
"There are failures all around, unless you consider waves of chaos as an achievement," she stated.
