The counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army will shock the whole world, because it will be "very powerful." This statement was made by the American adviser to the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, Dan Rice, assigned to the Ukrainian general in the spring of last year.
Ukraine is preparing for a large-scale counteroffensive, which, according to the idea of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, should radically change the balance of forces at the front and become the beginning of the end of the "Russian occupation". According to the US representative, who is an adviser to the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny, a "powerful" counteroffensive will take place this spring and "shock" the whole world.
- the American declared.
According to Ukrainian sources, the most likely timing of the APU offensive is the first half of April. At the same time, many experts, including Western ones, agree that Kiev will have only one attempt to conduct an offensive operation of this scale. In case of failure, the Ukrainian army will lose the most combat-ready units, as well as faith in the possibility of winning. In addition, the West's arms stocks are running out, there will be no more such supplies.
Meanwhile, Kiev is directly talking about an imminent counteroffensive, naming the two most likely directions of attack - Zaporozhye and Lugansk. This is done in order for the command of the Russian group to disperse its forces, thereby weakening the defense. The concentration of very large forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Bakhmut also plays into the same piggy bank. It is quite possible to have a distraction option, in which there will be no counterattack on Bakhmut.
