Military expert Yuriy Knutov has revealed when the Ukrainian army will finally launch its big spring counter-offensive. According to the expert, offensive actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are now impossible due to weather conditions.

It is raining in a number of regions there, which makes it difficult for armored vehicles to advance – mainly Western tanks. Time makes Western technology less maneuverable and less mobile, – quotes the words of Knutov “Free Press”.

What Ukrainian propaganda is now trying to portray as elements of a counter-offensive is just combat reconnaissance, which aims to probe the Russian defence, Knutov believes. Based on the words of Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, the specialist noted that the Ukrainian spring counter-offensive could be launched in the coming weeks.

They probe our defenses, seek out the most vulnerable places in order to strike where our resistance will be the worst. And a big offensive is being prepared, and Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced it yesterday. I think in the next few weeks it can start, he summed up.

Earlier, Glavny Regionalny reported that Ukraine’s military goals threatened to lose its statehood.
