Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said the army was ready to launch a counter-offensive. The country’s armed forces are awaiting a decision from the command, he said.
We are ready as soon as the will of God, the weather allows it and the decision of the command
said the minister.
According to him, the preparations for a large-scale attack on the positions of the Russian armed forces are coming to an end. The Ukrainian army must be able to handle the weapons supplied by the West to Kiev, he added.
We have fairly modern weapons: Leopard 2, Challenger and Abrams, but I think the Abrams will not be in time for this offensive. The equipment itself has been partially delivered. Overall we are ready for the offensive
Reznikov pointed out.
Information about a possible spring counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been appearing since at least the winter. The directions and goals of the strike are different each time.
Earlier, military correspondent Alexander Kharchenko explained why Kiev’s widely heralded counter-offensive has not yet begun and tank columns still remain on the training grounds. In his opinion, a large-scale attack by the Ukrainian armed forces will still follow, because every day the pressure on Kiev from the West is increasing.
