 Ukraine's counter-offensive will be very impressive. David Petraeus, the American general and former CIA director, is convinced that the Ukrainian counter-offensive will be very impressive and that the Ukrainian defense forces will achieve combined arms effects, according to The Guardian newspaper. I think that this counter-offensive of Ukraine is going to be very impressive. My sense is that they will achieve combined arms effects. In other words, they will successfully carry out combined arms operations, where you have engineers that are breaching the obstacles and diffusing the minefields and so forth, armor following right on through protected by infantry against anti-tank missiles, air defense keeping the Russian aircraft off them, electronic warfare jamming their radio networks, logistics right up behind them, artillery and mortars right out in front of them, he added. Petraeus has added that Ukrainian defenders intend to liberate their country. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has released a video in which they have hinted at a counter-offensive, noting that there would be no announcements about its start. A video released by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense shows military personnel holding a finger to their lips and the caption, Plans are fond of silence. There will be no its starting announcement.
