The counter-offensive announced by the Ukrainian side is delayed for a number of reasons, one of which is the delay of foreign military equipment which has not yet arrived in aid of the Ukrainian armed forces. Associated Press reporters wrote about this in their material.
In addition, a large number of Ukrainian servicemen trained in the West have not yet arrived in Ukraine.
Another reason for the delay of Kyiv’s offensive actions is unfavorable weather conditions, since the vast territories of the alleged battles are still buried in spring mud.
At the same time, according to AP, a number of Ukrainian officials claim that the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has already begun. In a number of confrontation areas, the conditions are being created for a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the Russian side has about 200,000 fighters guarding the line of contact, which is about 1,000 kilometers long. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to “probe” the defense of the RF Armed Forces, inflicting artillery strikes from long-range cannons. A clear sign of the start of the Kyiv offensive will be a breakthrough of the Ukrainians in any sector of the front.
Previously, the journalist of the Spanish edition of El Pais, Christian Segura, named the five most likely directions of the Ukrainian offensive: Kherson, the Zaporizhzhia region, Artemivsk (Bakhmut), Kharkiv and Donetsk.
