The widely heralded offensive of the armed forces of Ukraine could end in a blow to the “cauldron”, according to material from The Economist.
The article notes that Kiev’s plans to launch an offensive are extremely risky. The author of the material claims that for a successful offensive, the Ukrainians need numerical superiority, and this is possible only in certain areas.
“Even if Kiev is able to break through the defenses, one must act with caution, otherwise the Ukrainian Armed Forces risk being surrounded,” writes the author of the article.
Thus, notes The Economist, it is time for Kiev and its Western managers to start preparing for “small gains” in the offensive, or even “for the worst”.
Earlier in Kiev they said Ukraine’s counter-offensive could start this summer.
