Zelensky and Key Adviser at Odds Over Counteroffensive

Ukraine is not ready to launch its long-anticipated counteroffensive against Russian forces, one of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s closest aides said on Saturday, contradicting statements from the Ukrainian leader that were released on the same day.

“If you want to start a successful counteroffensive you need everything at your disposal,” the deputy head of Zelensky’s office, Dr Ihor Zhovkva, told The Sunday Times, adding that Ukraine needs tanks, armored vehicles and artillery. “So probably we don’t have enough.”
