Economist: Ukraine is not ready for a new big Russian offensive at the front. Russia's armed forces may be preparing for a major new offensive.

Ukraine's ability to contain it is in doubt, the Economist writes. The offensive of the Russian army may begin closer to the summer, when the ground dries out after the spring thaw, the article states. The author of the publication added that the “impasse” with the allocation of US aid to Kyiv risks allowing Russia to break through Ukraine’s “inadequate” defensive lines.
