Ukraine Defense Minister Says 'Complex' Counteroffensive Already Underway

Ukraine Defense Minister Says , 'Complex' Counteroffensive Already Underway.

'Newsweek' reports that a high-ranking defense official has said that "complex" deliberations are underway regarding Ukraine's looming counteroffensive.

.

Military strategists have reportedly predicted both Ukraine and Russia will go on the offensive following the war's first winter.

.

According to 'Newsweek,' Russia has already begun bolstering its defenses in the southern Zaporizhzhia region ahead of anticipated attacks.

According to 'Newsweek,' Russia has already begun bolstering its defenses in the southern Zaporizhzhia region ahead of anticipated attacks.

On April 19, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said the Ukrainian counteroffensive , "involves a vast and complex set of actions and measures carried out by the Armed Forces, which includes preparing people for a range of defensive and offensive actions.".

It is not necessary to publicly counterattack only to some active offensive actions, because it is a strategic goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to release all temporarily occupied territories, Hanna Maliar, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister, via 'Newsweek'.

The plan is ultimately chosen in such a way that the enemy cannot react, Hanna Maliar, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister, via 'Newsweek'.

'Newsweek' reports that it remains unclear if the recent leak of classified documents has caused Ukraine to adjust its strategy.

.

According to Jordan Cohen, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute, Ukraine is unlikely to receive the weapons it needs to effectively mount a counteroffensive.

Ultimately, this was always the problem with weapons transfers: they take much longer to train and deliver than they do to announce, Jordan Cohen, policy analyst at the Cato Institute, via 'Newsweek'.

The Biden administration can announce as many future weapons transfers as they want, but ultimately, these weapons still need to be produced and go through the U.S. military transfer bureaucracy, Jordan Cohen, policy analyst at the Cato Institute, via 'Newsweek'

US Supreme Court Greenlights Trump’s Trans Military Ban, Allowing Discharges, Enlistment Block

In a 6–3 decision, the US Supreme Court has reinstated Donald Trump’s controversial ban on transgender individuals serving in the military.

Russia-Ukraine War Breaking: Trump Moves U.S' Patriot Missile System From Israel to Ukraine

Ukraine is set to receive more U.S.-made Patriot air-defense systems as deadly Russian strikes intensify. A refurbished system from Israel is being rerouted, with Germany or Greece possibly sending another. While Trump pushes for peace, Zelensky’s plea for more weapons resurfaces after a missile strike killed 13 in Kyiv. With U.S. weapons deliveries from Biden’s era nearing exhaustion, the incoming Patriots are vital.
