Six-month window could decide Ukraine war, senior commander says

A senior Ukrainian commander, Brig. Gen. Andriy Biletsky, says Kyiv has about six to nine months to seize the battlefield initiative and push Russia back, arguing Moscow’s forces are exhausted and Ukraine can leverage momentum around key fronts like Donetsk and the Fortress Belt to negotiate from a position of strength. The conflict is marked by Ukraine’s use of unmanned systems and long-range strikes, Starlink cutoffs affecting Russian comms, and observers noting fatigue on both sides as a potential turning point approaches.
