Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says his country has a clear plan for a new counteroffensive against Russian forces.
Kyiv’s troops conducted a counteroffensive last year, but were unable to break through prepared defensive lines in the Russian-occupied south and east.
He said that a major military shakeup that saw the head of Ukraine’s military replaced earlier this month was connected to the new plan of action on the battlefield.
Zelenskiy said earlier that Kyiv’s plans to conduct a counteroffensive last year had been leaked and ended up “on a desk in the Kremlin” before the operation had even begun.
