Ukraine hints at imminent counteroffensive against Russia.

Top Ukrainian officials, including the chief military officer and the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, have hinted that the country may be nearing the launch of its long-awaited counteroffensive. Ukraine had previously signaled that it was preparing to launch the offensive before pumping on the brakes. The Ukrainian President had said that the military needed more time to prepare, adding that it would be "unacceptable" to start the counteroffensive at the time because Ukraine would "lose a lot of people."
