The Delayed Counteroffensive: Ukraine's Struggle Against Russia.

Ukraine's anticipated spring counteroffensive against Russia has been delayed due to factors such as weather, training, and lack of Western weapons. While tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have been trained by the US and allies, a lot of the pledged weapons and ammunition have yet to arrive. Both sides are taking steps in anticipation of the counteroffensive, with Ukraine shaping operations and targeting Russia's forward lines with long-range artillery fire. The offensive is expected to begin when Ukrainian brigades start crossing into Russian-held territories and try to attack the first line of Russian defenses.
