Russia is preparing a counteroffensive
During the press conference after the forum "Ukraine. Year 2024" Zelenskyi said that it will be difficult for Ukraine in the coming months, in particular due to fluctuations in the USA, which have an impact on some states.
It will be difficult for us in March-April. We will go through a period of various waves: political, financial, and various pressures.
Russia will prepare counter-offensive actions in early summer or late May, if they can.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi
President of Ukraine
The president said that Ukraine will prepare for battle.
I believe that their (offensive), which began on October 8, did not bring any results. We will prepare our plan for our part. The turning point will be the elections in the USA. And after that we will understand what will happen next.
Also at this press conference, Zelenskyi said that Ukraine has a plan for 2024, but he will not disclose the details of this plan.
The fewer people who know the plans of the Ukrainian army, the faster the victory will be. And an unexpected result for the Russians. There is a plan, I cannot say the details.
The president also said that Russia knew about Ukraine's plans for counteroffensive actions in 2023.
I will tell you frankly, our counteroffensive actions last fall were on the Kremlin's table before these counteroffensive actions began, Zelenskyy said.
