Tensions rise as Ukraine and Russia engage in military maneuvers.
TL;DR Summary
The silence along Ukraine's southern front has fueled speculation over a counteroffensive against Russia. Ukraine has made extraordinary efforts to conceal the start of its strategically vital counteroffensive, while Russia is also reluctant to speak of Ukrainian momentum. Losing Zaporizhzhia would greatly imperil Russia's military in Crimea and split its occupation in two, betraying the strategic incompetence of its military. This is a decisive moment for both Kyiv and the Kremlin, with NATO being uncharacteristically united and bold in its support and arming of Ukraine.
