“Russian troops will begin their offensive at the end of May – beginning of June. I think that by this time we will be well prepared. And we will see how it goes. Without the help of the Western allies, it will be catastrophically difficult for us. And that is provided that, first of all, , will arrive in sufficient quantity, and the second – will go further,” Budanov said.
