This opinion was expressed by a Ukrainian military expert, reserve colonel Roman Svitan.

"GORDON" writes about it.

"Right from the middle of April, we can already start moving. But maybe our command will make a decision to see how the Russians will behave around May 9, they have an attachment to these dates. They can gather some fist somewhere in one place - and somehow, by May 9, to capture, let's say, another village toilet somewhere in Donbas and show some kind of victory," noted Svitan.

He added that, perhaps, the Ukrainian military command will wait until the start of the counteroffensive.

"Although if the weather is good, there is nothing to wait - you have to start moving somewhere from the middle of April. There will be such a golden moon somewhere - (as in - ed.) in any offensive army: when it goes all out and makes a certain throw, offensive actions, breakthrough of the front. That's what we will have this month," the expert noted.

In his opinion, this period will be April - May for the Ukrainian army.

"Perhaps, the beginning of June, when a real launch will be made in the direction of the Azov coast or the Crimea at the same time. And then there is the second period: again accumulation until the next launch," Svitan summarized.

A spring counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army is possible

It will be recalled that earlier the ex-Deputy of the People's Republic of Ukraine, a soldier of the 109th Territorial Defense Brigade, Yehor Firsov, commented on the agitation surrounding the counteroffensive and urged Ukrainians "not to treat the Armed Forces like a football team."

Let us add that the spokesman of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Serhiy Cherevaty, told under what conditions the spring counteroffensive would begin.

It should be noted that Oleksandr Musienko, head of the Center for Military Legal Studies, assessed whether the Russian Federation could disrupt the Ukrainian counteroffensive and the liberation of Crimea.
