I never said Ukraine was ready to “go on the offensive.” Defending against an invasion is not going on the offensive. Now, if there is martial conflict, and Ukrainian troops cross the border into Russia or Belarus, then such a move could arguably be offensive in nature (but, if Ukrainian elements bombed Russian batteries that were firing on Ukraine, and those batteries were in Russia, that would still arguably be defensive in nature).
