Perun: Ukraine’s Planned Counteroffensive - force readiness, leaks, politics & expectations

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.
