Russia may launch a new offensive, similar to last year. Ukraine's ability to defend itself in this case now looks less confident than before. This is stated in the material of The Economist, UNN reports.
The media article notes that with the advent of warm weather comes a difficult time when military operations become more difficult. This could make Russian attacks more difficult during the period when the front line through eastern and southern Ukraine becomes less accessible for troop movement. However, this restriction will be temporary.
"As summer approaches, there are fears that Russia may launch a new major offensive similar to last year's. Ukraine's ability to defend itself in such a situation now looks less confident than before. Therefore, it is very important that Ukraine urgently mobilizes more troops and improves the reliability of its frontline defense," the article says.
