Ukraine is ready to launch its long-awaited counter-offensive to retake territory seized by Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
“We firmly believe that we will succeed,” Zelenski told the Wall Street Journal.
He added that he did not know how long the counteroffensive would last and that it could take place in different ways.
“But we will do it and we are ready,” added the Ukrainian president.
Kiev hopes the “counteroffensive to regain territory” will change the dynamics of the war that has been ongoing since Russia launched military action in Ukraine 15 months ago.
Zelensky said last month that Ukraine must wait for more Western armored vehicles to arrive before launching a counteroffensive.

Zelensky apparently is more afraid of the US ire than the European’s. This war is the 30 result of US pressure on Russia. The 2014 US coup unseating a democratically elected president in Ukraine followed by 8 years of Nazis killing 14000 Russian speakers in the Donbas, threatening NATO in Ukraine and grabbing Crimea for another (!) US base were the 3 things the Russian Federation could not tolerate, rightly so. Our odious leadership must be stopped in its rampage to control the entire world.
