🇺🇸🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺Seymour Hersh: The CIA warned Blinken that Kiev's counteroffensive would fail

The publicist said that, according to a source in American intelligence, the meeting on the Ukrainian settlement in Jeddah was supposed to be the crowning "lightning spring offensive of Ukraine"

CIA representatives warned US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in advance that Ukraine would not be able to succeed as a result of a counteroffensive this year, but the US presidential administration ignored this. This was announced by American publicist, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh in an article on the Substack platform, citing a source in American intelligence.

"He [Blinken] learned from the CIA that the Ukrainian offensive would not be successful. It was a show staged by [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky, which was believed in by the American administration," Hersh quotes the interlocutor as saying.

At the same time, big plans were built on the expectations of Kiev's counteroffensive. Hersh claims that the meeting on the Ukrainian settlement in Jeddah was supposed to be the crowning achievement of Ukraine's "lightning spring offensive." "But for now, Russia continues to restrain the Ukrainian offensive and prevent it from advancing," Hersh notes.

The American journalist added that the meeting in Jeddah was the idea of the assistant to the US President for National Security, Jake Sullivan, who saw it as "the equivalent of Woodrow Wilson's Versailles, a meeting of the great alliance of the free world after defeating the hated enemy." "Another mistake. But who already counts them?" - Hersh quotes his interlocutor in American intelligence.
