Ukraine, restraining the defense in Bakhmut, continues to prepare for a counteroffensive. It can start in two months.

 This was announced by the adviser to the head of the Office of the President Mykhailo Podolyak in an interview with La Stampa.

 According to him, the Ukrainian military needs long-range missiles and a stock of 155-mm ammunition for effective operations at the front.

 "We will wear out the Russians and then focus elsewhere. We need long-range missiles," he said.

 Podoliak noted that Bakhmut remains strategically important. This allows you to complete preparations for offensive actions.

 "We need an increase in the supply of heavy artillery shells of 155 mm caliber. We are not in a hurry, we are reorganizing within the next two months," added the adviser to the head of the OP.

 It will be recalled that ISW analysts believe that the attacks of the Russian invaders in the east give the Armed Forces of Ukraine an opportunity to launch their own counteroffensive.

 At the same time, the Ukrainian military points out that Ukraine needs to prepare for offensive actions. In particular, wait for help from partners and arrange logistics.

 The Economist assures that the Ukrainian forces have already started training. This is evidenced by the volume of equipment transferred from the Allies, as well as the training of troops abroad.
