Ukraine Defense Minister Says 'Complex' Counteroffensive Already Underway
Ukraine Defense Minister Says , 'Complex' Counteroffensive Already Underway.
'Newsweek' reports that a high-ranking defense official
has said that "complex" deliberations are underway
regarding Ukraine's looming counteroffensive.
.
Military strategists have reportedly
predicted both Ukraine and Russia will go on
the offensive following the war's first winter.
.
According to 'Newsweek,' Russia has already
begun bolstering its defenses in the southern
Zaporizhzhia region ahead of anticipated attacks.
According to 'Newsweek,' Russia has already
begun bolstering its defenses in the southern
Zaporizhzhia region ahead of anticipated attacks.
On April 19, Deputy Defense Minister
Hanna Maliar said the Ukrainian counteroffensive , "involves a vast and complex set of actions and measures
carried out by the Armed Forces, which includes preparing
people for a range of defensive and offensive actions.".
It is not necessary to publicly counterattack
only to some active offensive actions,
because it is a strategic goal of
the Armed Forces of Ukraine to release
all temporarily occupied territories, Hanna Maliar, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister, via 'Newsweek'.
The plan is ultimately
chosen in such a way that
the enemy cannot react, Hanna Maliar, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that it remains unclear if
the recent leak of classified documents has
caused Ukraine to adjust its strategy.
.
According to Jordan Cohen, a policy analyst at
the Cato Institute, Ukraine is unlikely to receive the
weapons it needs to effectively mount a counteroffensive.
Ultimately, this was always
the problem with weapons
transfers: they take much
longer to train and deliver
than they do to announce, Jordan Cohen, policy analyst at
the Cato Institute, via 'Newsweek'.
The Biden administration can
announce as many future weapons
transfers as they want, but ultimately,
these weapons still need to be
produced and go through the U.S.
military transfer bureaucracy, Jordan Cohen, policy analyst at
the Cato Institute, via 'Newsweek'
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his recent remarks against German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In a bold response, Rutte called Zelensky’s attacks on Scholz “unfair,” stating that such criticism undermines diplomatic efforts. The tension arose after Zelensky publicly condemned Scholz for his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his refusal to supply Ukraine with advanced weaponry, such as Taurus cruise missiles. Rutte's statement reflects growing concern over the impact of internal disagreements on European unity and NATO’s collective strategy. Watch now to see Rutte’s strong rebuke of Zelensky’s actions.

The FSB has exposed a major espionage operation involving a Russian national who was selling top-secret military data to Ukraine. The suspect, a man in his mid-40s, was apprehended after confessing to leaking sensitive information about military technology and the coordinates of Russian military bases. The man had reportedly been working with Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service for six months in exchange for financial compensation. The arrest has raised alarms within Russia, with the FSB stressing that the betrayal puts Russian forces in Ukraine at heightened risk. If convicted, the suspect faces a minimum of 12 years in prison. The investigation is ongoing, with more details expected to emerge.

The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has seen escalating tensions, with the possibility of a pivotal shift in 2025. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may face intense international pressure, potentially forcing him to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin for negotiations. With heavy losses on both sides and the global focus shifting, Zelensky could be compelled to make difficult decisions regarding Ukraine’s future, possibly including territorial concessions or a ceasefire agreement. As the war drags on, questions loom about the fate of Ukraine, the role of NATO, and Putin’s demands in the face of mounting global and internal challenges.

President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed plans to launch the "largest deportation program" in U.S. history, utilising military power to carry out mass deportations of undocumented migrants. This announcement follows his election victory, during which immigration reform was a central issue. Trump has pledged to deport millions of illegal immigrants, focusing on stabilising the U.S.-Mexico border and addressing the surge in illegal crossings during President Joe Biden's administration. The program will involve military assets, with Trump amplifying the approach via social media. The initiative aims to significantly reduce the number of undocumented migrants in the country, impacting millions of families, with critics warning of potential legal and humanitarian concerns. Trump’s plan signals a tough stance on immigration, promising to restore what he describes as national security and order at the southern border

Russian President Vladimir Putin escalated the war with a revenge-driven drone assault on Ukraine, launching more than 100 drones on December 22, a day after Ukraine struck high-rise buildings in Kazan, Russia. The attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, and Zaporizhzhya, causing significant damage to businesses and apartment buildings. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept 52 of the 103 drones, preventing casualties, though the strikes intensified fears of further infrastructure destruction. This deadly retaliation comes after a devastating attack in Kazan, Russia, on December 21, where Ukrainian forces targeted the capital of Tatarstan, marking a notable escalation in the conflict.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has acknowledged that Ukraine's army lacks the strength to fully recapture territories lost to Russia since 2014, including Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye. In a recent interview, Zelensky emphasized the need for diplomacy, stating that Ukraine cannot achieve its territorial goals through military means alone. He also highlighted that any diplomatic solution would only be possible when Ukraine is strong enough to prevent further Russian offensives. Despite this, Zelensky remains firm in his stance that Ukraine will not capitulate, signaling that NATO membership remains a key objective in negotiations.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.
