The much expected Ukrainian 2023 counteroffensive (sequel to the well known trilogy in 2022 "Kyiv" "Kharkiv" & "Kherson") has, alongside Bakhmut, been a major topic of speculation and discussion for months now. As a topic it is so heavily debated that there isn't even agreement over whether or not it has started, is yet to start, or will never start at all.

For the most part, while some preparations are obvious, Ukraine has succeeded in keeping its actual plans secret, and even a leak of classified American documents did little to definitively answer the question of where and when Kyiv is likely to strike to attempt to reclaim the initiative after Russia's Winter and early Spring efforts.

By popular request, today we take a chance to look at how we got to this point - how have both sides prepared for the offensive to come, what military actions are presaging it, and what it might mean for the war over the next few months.

Perun is thorough more than most YouTubers. What is happening, even if no one wants to admit it, is both sides are planning for a long war and working on building up their production abilities to deliver the weapons the war in Ukraine is consuming.

The question is which side has greater capacity to improve. Since the drop of Russian industry and increase in air quality is visible from orbit, the long term favors Ukraine and her allies, not Russia.

I've seen the previews for The Counteroffensive and I can't wait for movie! When will it be released?

[Mr. K]

Geez, why don’t they just post the date, time, and place of the ‘coming counter-offensive”?

[Mr. K]

I know, right?

I remember when announcing your intentions to the enemy was a bad idea.

Happening NOW! Wagner’s On the Run! Soon Balkmut will be re-taken soon! With all they have shot off—Putin can’t take this one city! It proves that Russia is done as a nation. Soon, the people of Russia (with CIA Backing) will take down Putin and his thugs and bring in Ukrainian democracy to Moscow.

Careful. In a year or two years statements like that may be seen as preiecent.
