Can Ukraine blunt Russia's spring offensive? - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD



Russia is expected to launch a major spring offensive in Ukraine – but Kyiv says it is ready.

Ukraine is preparing to confront Russia’s next move – instead of simply holding the line, their strategy focuses on flexible defense, opportunistic counterattacks, and forcing Russia to fight on unfavorable terms.

Drone warfare, battlefield visibility, and rapid troop movements are reshaping how both sides conduct operations.

In this episode of Eastern Express, we examine how Ukraine plans to meet Russia’s next offensive, and why the coming months could redefine the front line.

I think not. And Putin cannot threaten Estonia. Latvia. Lithuanian, Finland. or Poland in a land war. No realistic opportunity. Ukraine is helping NATO understand the new military reality for Russia.

It's really about stupid men and nuclear weapons.
