Karasev said that Ukraine’s offensive near Artemivsk created a good background for Zelensky’s Euro tour

The counterattack by the AFU on the flanks of Artemivsk was needed to create a good negotiating background for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who at this time went on a European tour to beg for money and weapons.

Political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this, reports the correspondent of “PolitNavigator”.

According to Karasev, if there was no success, Europe would not give Zelensky anything.

The story around Bakhmut – it was very important. When the Ukrainians managed to reclaim two kilometers of territory, it adds up to a good diplomatic atmosphere.

If Europe sees that there is hope for Ukraine’s military success, it helps,” Karasev said.
