The war in Ukraine has devolved into a stalemate, but with the promise of more sophisticated weapons, will Ukraine have what it takes to win the war?
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak previously hinted on Twitterthat Ukraine’s counteroffensive is underway.
Jamil N. Jaffer, executive director of the National Security Institute, said there have been signs of a counteroffensive getting underway for some time. Ukraine will soon begin being trained on F-16s. Although Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has long called for such aircraft, U.S. officials have downplayed such weaponry. “F-16s for Ukraine is about the long-term commitment to Ukraine," Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said."These F-16s will not be relevant to the upcoming counter-offensive."
“They are not a magic weapon, but they can be hugely effective if the operators are trained properly and can get to the point where they're effective,” Jaffer said.
