Zelensky says when AFU counter-offensive at the front will start

The Ukrainian army is almost ready for a counter-offensive, but it is not yet possible to talk about its full readiness to attack the enemy. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this during a briefing with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday, 14 May.

At the same time, he noted that the Ukrainian military needs help from its allies in order to achieve a breakthrough on the front. He also stressed that in order to prepare the Ukrainian Armed Forces for an offensive on the front, he should make several more official visits.

A few more visits are all," he said.

At the same time, he agreed that there is a risk of waning support from some countries if there is not enough success on the field.

There is a risk that if the offensive is not successful, support will dwindle. There are some states that are thinking about this, but they have not been very active in supporting Ukraine so far," the president pointed out.

Also in his address, the head of state noted that he believes in the success of the upcoming counter-offensive.

We believe in success, the truth is on our side. Support is on our side. We are motivated. And I think we are almost ready for this success," stated the President.
