UKRAINE IS READY to launch a long-awaited counteroffensive against Russia but fears large casualties due to Moscow’s superior air power, President Volodydmyr Zelenskyy has said.
“A large number of soldiers will die” if Kyiv is not given the weapons to counter Russian air power, Zelenskyy said. He spoke as the capital was this week hit by a series of aerial assaults, including a rare daytime one.“Everyone knows perfectly well that any counteroffensive without air superiority is very dangerous,” Zelenskyy said.
