The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are preparing for a counteroffensive, which will begin in about two months, Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the head of the presidential office has said.
“We are not in a hurry, we will reorganize over the next two months. We will exhaust the Russians in Bakhmut and then focus elsewhere,” Podolyak said in an interview published today by the Italian newspaper La Stampa.
Ukraine is pursing two main goals in its defense of Bakhmut: to gain time to replenish its forces, and to inflict heavy losses on the Russian army.
Russia is losing five to seven times more military personnel than Ukraine, he noted. There are about 40,000 dead and wounded invaders in Bakhmut.

1) The Great Russian Winter Offensive has so far resulted in nothing more than Russian forces being pushed into an undefendable salient around Bakhmut. Sending the main Ukrainian Army into that battle in the next weeks could be very productive.
2) Ukraine can leave its main force as an army-in-being and force Russia to maintain large defensive formations from Bryansk to Melitopol.
Sure, nothing says winning like waiting to win and announcing your winning strategy, color me less than convinced.
“That they a publicly announcing major offensive in two months means we should expect something different.”
Nobody ever warned enemies about future plans like that pizza chit obama.
“We will exhaust the Russians in Bakhmut...” by making them step over all of the dead Uke soldiers.
Where is Bakhmut?
Smoke being blown.
Lolz
Kiev post
They probably have the winning powerball numbers for next week on page 3 as well
Ted Striker : My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We’re bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We’re coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine Dickinson : When will you be back?
Ted Striker : I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.
What f...ing Military genius announces his counter offensive 2 months ahead of schedule? I would assume it’s a ruse because I can’t believe anybody that’s stupid.
The only thing of use could be that it’s trying to show strength ( We can mount an offensive ) when you’re weak.
“Russia is losing five to seven times more military personnel than Ukraine, he noted.”

When he says something ridiculous like this you can’t take anything else he says seriously.
Just broadcast your maneuvers....loose lips
Ukraine doesn’t have enough soldiers and equipment to mount a counter offensive. I think Biden should tell Z tell settle for a peace plan.
When did military strategy become a f%/*king talk show?
People too friggin stupid to be world leaders
They know how to play things, remember September.
“ Ukraine doesn’t have enough soldiers and equipment to mount a counter offensive.…”
********************************************************
Zelensky can always order his forces concentrated to LAUNCH a counteroffensive but whether it would be successful is a different question. And depending upon where, how and when the cost in troops and materials could be horrendous for Ukraine.
But as least the AMERICAN TAXPAYER MONEY WOULD CONTINUE TO FLOW.
Answer:
In Ukraine. Where russians don’t belong.
It will take the Ukies 2 months to get the clown car started...
Thank you.
LOL, that is way it is done
