The military command is working on various options for the development of events at the front, so the final plan for the counteroffensive is not known to anyone, Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council, has stated.

Quote: “We are aware of all the processes taking place at the front. Any speculation about the plans of the Ukrainian military, including with respect to the counteroffensive, is entirely unsubstantiated. All this will be decided at the last minute, when the final decision is made.”
Details: Danilov explained that the Ukrainian military has “not just one, or two, or three, or even four options for the development of events at the front,” because it depends on many factors that are evaluated every day.
Quote: “And everyone should understand that we don’t only discuss the counteroffensive.
We understand that it is necessary to liberate all our territories [and return] to 1991 borders. Until we do that, until our Armed Forces do that, we cannot talk about the end of the war.”
Earlier: Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that a large-scale counteroffensive by Ukrainian forces against the Russian invaders could begin in the summer.
Retired US Lieutenant General Ben Hodges believes that the leak of classified Pentagon documents will not impact Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
