New counter-offensive coming in spring, says Kyiv spy chief | Ukraine: The Latest | Podcast

[@charlesmackey8179]

Such admiration for Anna and Olga and the many Ukrainian volunteers. Their support for their country should be a lesson to all of us in the West. God Bless them !!

[@panglayman5576]

This is just a warning that the gloves are going to come off, with the full kit, F16s, Abrams, Atacams, etc. So, Putin has time to contemplate negotiating with Ukraine and pulling out of Crimea and Donbass. Remember, last week Zelensky was saying that Krasnodar, Rostov, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh and Kursk are really part of Ukraine. Those will have to be ceded if Russia does not accept Zelensky's terms laid out at Davos.

I think the summer counter offensive was largely to keep the west happy, even though Ukraine didn't have anything close to what they needed to make it a success. Then they get criticized by western armchair generals that they are doing it wrong after they see Ukrainian equipment destroyed.

[@Prometheus-Unbound]

I see some commentators being negative about the Ukrainians saying there will be future offensives. This is giving nothing away because we and the Russians know that Ukraine will continue offensive operations, they have to. The real question is what kind of offensive and to what ends. A large scale land offensive looks unlikely at least until air superiority at least locally is achieved however not the announcement was by the head of Intelligence and special operations who has been responsible for guiding the Black Sea successes and the deployment of long range drones. My personal view is that the offensive will be more black sea operations and deep attacks on Russian economic targets particularly disrupting Russian hydrocarbon exports. The aim to break Russia economically and sow social discord. But that's just a personal view and that's the problem for the Russians - they are clearly dealing fighting people who ace them for planning and thought. I sure the "offensive" will have elements we can foresee but elements we don't and all bundled up in a confusing mix for Russia. Long wars are economic wars (and as I write this the EU just agreed 50 billion in aid to Ukraine)

[@richardmarsden5610]

Russia could shut down economic activity of the EU within several hours, if it had the political will to do so. As for social discord, U.S. and EU have severe social discord problems now already, (see Texas, see Brussels, see Paris, see Berlin, see London etc, etc) Russians aren't fools as to why they would have economic hardships and who is actually responsible and the blame would be squarely put on U.S. and Nato states. With regards air superiority, U.S. led Nato itself hasn't got that ability. Russian air defense and multirole combat aircraft are simply far, far too strong.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have deployed a German anti-aircraft complex at a well-known military site, which has been equipped for air defense forces since Soviet times. Before the start of the Russian special military operation, the S-300 air defense system was deployed there, but it was destroyed by Russian forces in 2022. The footage confirms that German IRIS-T system is ineffective for interception of Russian missiles.

The demilitarised zone must be pushed back, he said. "The line should be at such a distance from our territory that it would ensure security,” Putin said speaking at the meeting at Gostiny Door in Moscow. Putin was referring to long-range, primarily foreign-made systems that Kyiv uses to shell peaceful Russian settlements. Russia will still exchange prisoners of war with Ukraine Speaking at the meeting, Vladimir Putin also said that Moscow was not going to stop exchanging prisoners of war with Kyiv. According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, on January 31, Russia and Ukraine exchanged 195 to 195 POWs. Putin also said that he could not understand why Ukraine shot down the Russian Il-76 plane with its prisoners on board. Kyiv probably wanted to push Russia to retaliate, Putin added.
