Reuters: Ukraine says it's wrapping up preparations for counteroffensive
KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine is wrapping up preparations for a counteroffensive against Russian forces and is largely ready for it to go ahead, Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov said on Friday.
"As soon as there is God's will, the weather and a decision by commanders, we will do it," he told an online news briefing.
He gave no date for when the counteroffensive would start but said: "Globally speaking, we are to a high percentage ready."
Kyiv hopes its planned counteroffensive will change the dynamics of the war that has raged since Russia invaded Ukraine 14 months ago.

ReplyDeleteWNU. It seems you have unreliable sources. Contradicting sources, try to find sources that agree on certain matters from Ukraine and Russian side and we will believe you.
I second that.
Delete4:42 you shouldn't believe anything until it is proven as fact but take it on board, I think WNU is great because it gives an alternative view point (away from western media narratives) for you to build your own understanding of current world events
ReplyDeleteexactly--everyone has a slant.
DeleteYes, but we need good data and careful analysis, less noise.

ReplyDeleteThey can't even get that right.
Ron is right .. a wait and see.
ReplyDeleteIf the Defence minister says they are ready, Then they re not. Why? Look at him. A smiling imbecile.
That guy has not been on the front lines. He has probably never fired a rifle. Look at him. He looks like one of those egg head professors you had in college
