War in Ukraine: kyiv’s counter-offensive takes shape

The kyiv army’s counter-offensive seems to be under way. “In any case, Oleksiy Reznikov, the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, gave indications this morning: “We are ready, Western weapons have partially arrived”reports journalist Hugues Huet, live from Kharkiv (Ukraine), Friday, April 28. “Soldier training is nearing completion”he continues. According to some information, “12 battalions, i.e. 48,000 men would constitute the spearhead of this counter-offensive, obviously supported by other units”says the journalist.

Put pressure on the Russians

But the problem remains the bad weather conditions, it’s raining and the fields are waterlogged. “An element that could slow down or even slow down the progress of armored vehicles in the context of a rapid offensive”says Huet. The war of nerves therefore continues. It is a question of putting pressure on the Russians and thus, of leaving them in uncertainty.
