The Ukrainian army still needs time before embarking on a counter-offensive, says Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview broadcast Thursday, May 11 by the BBC. Analysts cite the Zaporizhzhia region as a likely theater of this major offensive.
The two camps will continue to observe each other by drones, the commander says. The operation has been in preparation for months, while the front has been largely frozen since last year, Zelenskiy says. He adds that a counterattack is a one in five chance of survival for soldiers.
