Ukraine appears to be ready to launch its long awaited counteroffensive. Preparations are coming to an end, according to the government, and expectations are high not only in Ukraine but amongst its allies…
Drone strikes on targets in Russian occupied parts of Crimea are laying the ground for Ukraine’s move, since these areas are crucial for Russian resupply. At the same time Russia is building trench networks so massive they’re visible from outer space and launching nightly air attacks on Kyiv and other cities. Ukraine’s Defense Minister says his land is defending not only itself, but Europe, and has earned a full membership in NATO.
We’re asking: Ukraine’s counteroffensive: Can it meet expectations?
