The Ukrainian

Armed Forces

continue to prepare for their counteroffensive.

There are no problems with motivation in the Defense Forces.

Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said this on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel.

"There is a need to maintain a certain silence, because the counteroffensive and the liberation of territories will take place when it is most in the interests of the Ukrainian army, will help to cause the greatest damage to the enemy and save more lives of Ukrainian soldiers. As for the preparation, yes, it is ongoing... But the details, when and where (there will be a counteroffensive - Ed.), of course, we will not discuss it now," Yusov emphasized.

The representative of intelligence emphasized that propaganda in Russia, scaring the Ukrainian offensive, is trying to raise the motivation of its army and society.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has no problem with motivation.

A large counteroffensive of the Armed Forces

The head of the Ministry of Defense, Oleksiy Reznikov, said that Ukrainian soldiers are preparing for a counteroffensive.

It 

should start already during April-May

.

The minister emphasized that the counteroffensive "is planned in several directions."

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Dmytro

Kuleba notes that Ukraine is preparing a counteroffensive this spring.

However, he emphasized, it cannot be perceived as a decisive moment in the war against Russia.

One of the conditions for the active actions of the Armed Forces is 

the formation of a full-fledged tank brigade

provided by the Western allies.

Military analyst Michael Clark believes that it is about a hundred tanks.

The Pentagon also says that the offensive of the Armed Forces is not far off.

The US Secretary of Defense believes that

 Ukraine can take advantage of the significant depletion of the Russian army

and the supply of Western weapons in order to launch a successful counteroffensive this spring.
