 The spokesman for Ukraine's Russian-backed separatist region has commented on Ukraine's much-anticipated counter-offensive operation against Russia. I'm convinced that there will be a Ukrainian counter-offensive operation by May 9. They will seek to disrupt our holiday. Daniel Bezunov, the spokesman for the so-called Donald's People's Republic, said on the live broadcast of the state-owned Rosia 1 TV channel. The holiday that Bezunov mentioned is a reference to the May 9th Victory Day, that is commemorated as the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. He also commented on the number of troops and military equipment that Ukraine will possibly use in its counter-offensive operation. According to our intelligence reports, Ukraine has more than 50,000 forces in the direction of Zaporizhek. In addition, it has 80,000 reservists in the direction of Donetsk. At the same time, it is gathering forces in the directions of Carlson, Nikolayev, Donetsk Purves and Kharkiv. As for Belgrade, I want to mention that apart from Luhansk and Donetsk, Belgrade will be the main direction where attacks will take place. According to the Ukrainian commercials published for Russian users on the internet, Bezunov noted. Ukraine is preparing for a decisive counter-offensive to liberate its territories occupied by Russia. The country's defense minister Oleskiy Razenkov recently said that Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russia would be unexpected without giving further details. Ukraine's obvious military objective in this operation would be to reclaim a foothold on the shores of Azov Sea.
