Zelensky Discusses Offensive Start

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, avoided answering questions about the start of the counteroffensive during a press conference held within the framework of the G7 summit in Hiroshima.

Regarding your question, I apologize, but all your questions require me to respond in general terms for now; Russia will feel when the offensive begins,” he replied to a journalist's query about the timing of Kyiv's counteroffensive.

The topic of a possible counteroffensive by Ukrainian forces has been discussed in the media for several months, with various timelines provided. Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the open speculation by Western countries regarding the upcoming Ukrainian counteroffensive confirms their direct involvement in the conflict.
