Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a conversation with the editor-in-chief of Italian media in Rome on the 13th that Ukraine “will soon launch an important first step in the counter-offensive,” CNN reported.
He said, “We are seriously preparing, and of course there will be important steps.” “We know that we are all motivated, not just those who know about this plan, but also our people. I can’t tell you (when to counterattack), but you Surely it will be seen, and Russia will certainly feel it.”
“We believe we can overcome it, we believe that important first steps will be taken soon,” Zelensky said.
A senior U.S. military official said the Ukrainian counteroffensive had begun to “take shape,” including attacks on Russian ammunition depots, command centers and armor and artillery systems in preparation for advancing troops.
Zelensky said on the 11th that it will take some time for the counterattack to allow more Western military aid to arrive.
