Preparations for Ukraine’s anticipated offensive is far from complete.
Written by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher
A lot has been said about Ukraine’s expected spring offensive, with many Western analysts predicting that it will soon begin. In fact, Newsweek cited the secret documents leaked on the Internet, which revealed that the US and its allies are aiming to launch Ukraine’s offensive by April 30, the anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s death.
Given that this timeframe is only days away, it seems unlikely that Ukraine will launch a major offensive because there is a lack of soldiers and weapons, such as fighter jets, air defence systems, tanks, armoured personnel carriers, and missiles. At the same time, Russian forces are likely readying themselves for the offensive, and to then also launch a counteroffensive.
Nevertheless, according to the Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine, Hanna Maliar, the Ukrainian army has already launched an offensive and it is wrong to wait for the announcement of a specific date. However, the Ukrainian army’s actions do not even resemble an offensive and it appears more like that they are trying to find weak points to attack in the future.
This task is made all the more difficult since offensives are usually preceded by artillery and airstrikes to soften defences. This has obviously not occurred, and will not occur in a major way since the Ukrainian military has lost nearly all of their fighter jets and artillery.
Given that Ukraine is not in a position to successfully launch an offensive, it is becoming increasingly evident that it is the US persistently pushing for an escalation. The West is seeking a justification to explain to their taxpayers why billions of dollars are propping up the Far-Right regime in Kiev instead of being used for domestic development. This is being done now by pretending that the Ukrainian military is on the cusp of victory.
For this purpose, Washington is pushing Ukraine to launch an offensive despite the fact that it can lead to the complete destruction of the Ukrainian army and a further loss of territory.
Western and Ukrainian media, as well as politicians, are also actively discussing the possible offensive to try and exert pressure and intimidate Russia. It is part of an informational and psychological war, and it is no coincidence that the dates of possible offensives are being publicly discussed.
The possible launch of the spring offensive on the very day of Adolf Hitler’s death is highly symbolic and points to the Kiev regimes extremist ideology. If Ukraine is to launch an offensive on this day, it can be interpreted as a primitive and pathetic attempt of revenge for the Soviet destruction of the Nazi regime in World War II.
None-the-less, for all the hype during the winter about the upcoming offensive, many are sceptical that Ukraine will launch it because, as already said, the country’s military does not have enough soldiers and weapons.
According to the founder of Wagner Private Military Company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Ukrainian army is unlikely to stage an offensive because the conditions are still muddy, thus making fields and unpaved roads impassable.
“An offensive cannot be launched right now for quite understandable reasons: amid horrific slush and mud. Even pickup trucks cannot freely run on this terrain, let alone heavy vehicles and tanks. It will take some ten days for the ground to dry,” Prigozhin said.
More importantly though, launching an offensive in the modern era without air cover is effectively suicide. Ukraine now uses fighter jets that the US and its partners have sent, but the pilots have very little experience in operating them. Without fighter jets, whilst keeping in mind that all of Ukraine’s anti-aircraft weapons are destroyed, infantry do not have effective cover.
Most telling of the problems faced by the Ukrainian military is the fact that shells were set aside for the upcoming spring offensive, which caused frustration among troops being grinded down in Artemivsk (Bakhmut). This revelation came as top Ukrainian officials have expressed their frustration on the slow delivery of weaponry and ammunition from the West.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba angrily lambasted the European Union for their slow delivery of the million artillery shells promised.
“The inability of the EU to implement its own decision on the joint procurement of ammunition for Ukraine is frustrating,” Kuleba wrote in a tweet on April 20. “This is a test of whether the EU has strategic autonomy in making new crucial security decisions. For Ukraine, the cost of inaction is measured in human lives.”
This is a fallacy since sending further weapons to Ukraine is not a demonstration of European autonomy but rather of European submission to Washington. Kuleba’s entitled outburst had the desired effect as the EU’s foreign policy chief, Joseph Borrell, rang him only a day later to promise that the bloc would “do its utmost to deliver, and deliver fast.”
Even if such a delivery is made, it does not increase the chances of success because Russia will just simply destroy all stockpiles, as it has already done on multiple occasions. For all the noise of an upcoming spring offensive, the summer is already fast approaching, meaning that it will either not occur, or it will be an utter failure because preparations are far from complete.
Der Angriff Steiners wird das schon in Ordnung bringen. Wenn nicht -> Selbstmord im Führerbunker.
@Georgeous
What a bullshit propaganda. Nobody would choose the day of the death of a leader. If you want something symbolic then you’ll choose the birthday 20th April – then that’s a symbol. Same for Jesus – do christians praise the day of Jesus rebirth or the day of his martydom the most high ?
So common – why are you praising Zelensky, SF with your article and Zelensky/Hitler picture ? You upgrade him, really ? Why do you raise that little jewish, fully US-dependent worm Zelensky to the level of great german leader Adolf Hitler ? Seems you are still too butthurt to accept that the none-jewish controlled christian world still likes that great man and his noble Wehrmacht much more than all your stinky little hook-nosed commie chiefs and jewish NKWD commissars ?
That great German leader destroyed Germany , you Nazi air head.
Time for the RF forces to strike Ukrainian accummulation of manpower, equipment and ammo storage, 24/7. Time to put the hypersonic and other missiles at work behind the contact line.
Wrong picture replace hitler with lenin then it is right. Hitler killed jews and slaws Lenin only killed slaws so he is the right fit for Zelinsky.
The fake acounts and CIA payed bots are nervous today, I guess they are desperate since they are losing control of the narrative on the web lmao
^changes his profile name, chooses a (((self-hating one))).
National Socialist Archive and Zoomer Waffen are the dumb network of greatshitstains and americunts and mossad khasbara jews. They dance with jews in kikerael and wail at the wall of losers.
Whereas Merkel, Olaf, Abe, and Kishida are blackmailed into accepting faggotry.
Germany and Japan are Inviolable, after all of the jewish atrocities of stalin mao and their jewish khazarian allies upon Humanity.
great shitstain, americunt, russia, and china can go fuck themselves with their false flag gay victory parades.
Well Adolph died in Argentina or Paraguay long after he and others fled the Reich, so I guess it’s General Mud will be calling the shots until he goes away and dry earth returns to Ukraine.
Just like Bin Laden, there was no DNA associated with the death of Adolf. Can see them trying to do something that will keep the media happy on Victory Day, owing to it being such an important day in Russia. The end of Fascism. However, I wonder if the plans for the ‘comeback’ will be found with the 300 NATO Generals and advisers, over in Kiev, that Ukraine, cannot locate? Or will the offensive be another NATO exercise? Remember, the US aircraft carrier, back in 2016 that got zapped, owing to getting too close to Khaliningrad? Not forgetting Defender 2022, which led to the NATO taking out Germany’s energy sector aka NS1 and NS2. Why did the German Chancellor celebrate what US did to the pipeline?
Meat grinder ? You haven’t seen anything yet. An offensive would be suicidal on the part of the Ukrainians , their last hurrah .
Bring it on . It will be a turkey shoot for the Russians , the Nazi’s last hurrah .
