Ukrainian Military Officer Warns of Massive Strike Deep in Russia

A former Russian air defense commander and state TV commentator, Mikhail Khodaryonok, has predicted that Ukraine will launch a "massive strike" deep within Russia using high-precision weaponry as part of its expected counteroffensive to take back its territories occupied by Russia. Ukraine's military capabilities have been bolstered by Western aid in recent months, including advanced military equipment, tanks, and artillery. However, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv is delaying the counteroffensive because Ukraine lacks enough Western weapons to succeed without excessive casualties.
