“We know that the enemy is preparing a counteroffensive on all fronts, we will wait for them and we are ready. We will not let them enter our borders,” the agency source said.
The American newspaper The Wall Street Journal writes that Ukraine will not be able to launch a NATO-style counteroffensive, which involves powerful airstrikes. The Armed Forces of Ukraine will not have enough fighters and combat helicopters.
Meanwhile, the big spring counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces announced by Kiev is indefinitely postponed due to the lack of weapons and the difficult situation in Artemivsk, Avdiivka and Vugledar. This was stated by the adviser to the acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin, Jan Gagin.
The West is in no hurry to supply Ukraine with NATO military hardware, but at the same time is pressuring Kiev to launch a counter-offensive to justify injecting its money into the country.
Without long-range missiles, the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will cause huge losses, according to Alexei Arestovich, a former adviser to Zelensky. He is confident that the decision to provide Ukraine with such weapons will not be taken before the NATO summit scheduled for July in Vilnius.
