The Ukrainian side will prepare 12 brigades of 4,000 men each for an offensive in May, The New York Times reports, citing secret Pentagon documents.
“Ukraine is preparing to launch a counter-offensive against Russian troops as early as next month… 12 Ukrainian combat brigades of about 4,000 soldiers each are expected to be ready by the end of April “, says the article.
It is stated that the United States and NATO are training and supplying nine of the twelve brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Ukraine shares few details of its plan with US officials, but the operation could be rolled out in a youthful direction, especially along the Sea of Azov coastline.
