Zelensky Holds Off on Ukraine Counteroffensive Despite Frontline Gains

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has delayed the country's counteroffensive against Russia, stating that they need to wait for reinforcements to arrive. Zelensky said that Ukraine is ready in terms of motivation and personnel, but not in terms of equipment. The counteroffensive is a test for Ukraine to prove that Western-supplied advanced weapons can be used to make significant battlefield gains. The success of the counteroffensive would mean Ukraine would agree to nothing less than regaining all its lost territory.
