Ukraine-News: Military expert: Peak of counter-offensive soon reached

The military analyst Franz-Stefan Gady expects that the Ukrainian counter-offensive will reach its peak in the coming weeks. “Ultimately, this attrition campaign is about which side has more reserves,” writes Gady, who works for the Institute for International Strategic Studies (IISS) in London, among others, on Platform X (formerly Twitter). However, the data is incomplete. So far, the focus has been far too much on Ukrainian breakthroughs through Russian defenses and far too little on whether Ukraine will have enough forces after breaking through the defenses to penetrate deep into the occupied territories, Gady says on Deutschlandfunk. “And here we don’t really know whether Ukraine would still have enough forces, even if they were to break through the individual defense points very quickly now.
