“We know that the enemy is preparing a counter-offensive on all fronts, we will wait for them and we are ready. We will not let them enter our borders,” the agency’s source said.
The American newspaper The Wall Street Journal writes that Ukraine will not be able to launch a NATO-style counter-offensive, which involves powerful air strikes. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will not have enough fighters and helicopter gunships.
Meanwhile, the major spring counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces announced by Kiev is postponed indefinitely due to the lack of weapons and the difficult situation in Artemivsk, Avdiivka and Vugledar. This was stated by the adviser to the acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin, Jan Gagin.
The West is in no rush to supply Ukraine with NATO military equipment, but at the same time it is pushing Kiev to launch a counter-offensive to justify injecting its money into the country.
Without long-range missiles, the offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces will cause huge losses, said Alexei Arestovich, a former adviser to Zelenskyyy. He is convinced that the decision to equip Ukraine with such weapons will not be taken before the NATO summit scheduled for July in Vilnius.
