The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, said that preparations are underway for the counteroffensive, which should begin in April-May.  

The head of the Ministry of Defense said this in an interview with ERR.

Reznikov answered the question when the Leopard battle tanks transferred by the Western allies will appear at the front, saying that these machines will be seen "in a counterattack by the decision of our General Staff."

"

Already (the counteroffensive - ed.) is planned in several directions

. It depends on which moment is the most suitable, how they will decide. Also, everything depends on the weather conditions. In the spring, our land is very wet. You can only use tracked equipment. I think

 in we will see them (tanks - ed.)

in April-May

," the Minister of Defense said.

He also announced very positive changes for Ukraine this year.

Reznikov is convinced that Ukrainian defenders will continue to liberate the occupied territories, as was the case in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson regions.

We will remind you that Leopard tanks from Germany, Canada, Portugal and Poland have already arrived in Ukraine.

Note that, according to military analyst Michael Clarke, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not launch a major counteroffensive until they form a full-fledged tank brigade from the received Western vehicles.

It is about 100 tanks.

In addition, the US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that Ukraine can launch a successful counteroffensive in the spring, taking advantage of the exhaustion of the Russian army and the supply of Western weapons.
