There had been suggestions in the media that the US had doubts about the success of a Ukrainian counteroffensive. According to The Washington Post, US intelligence believes that Ukraine's problems with massing troops, ammunition and equipment could cause its military to fall "well short" of Kyiv's initial goals for the anticipated counteroffensive.
