A Ukrainian official has indicated the country’s expected counteroffensive is coming “soon” as Russian missiles hit Ukraine overnight and in a rarer daylight attack Monday.
The commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said that “the time will soon come when we will move to active offensive actions,” according to translations of a Telegram post, and “defined specific tasks” for military preparations.

Yep. As soon as the big check from the U.S. clears.
“...and in a rarer daylight attack Monday.”
I take that as a sign that Ukraine’s air defenses are about out missiles...which means the same for NATO, since we likely sent Ukraine pretty much everything we had.

Which whom is Oceania at war today?
It feels a bit like a crowd sourced video game release...
The Wehrmacht used the term as a slur for Russian soldiers
I’ve heard it in old recordings and interviews with panzer battalions from the eastern front
"Another opening, another show! On world stages we look for dough! A chance for grifters to say 'hello!' Another opening and another show!"
I think the exact date and time would be more helpful.
Rasputitsa (Russian: распу́тица, IPA: [rɐsˈputʲɪtsə]) is a season of the year when travel on unpaved roads or across country becomes difficult, owing to muddy conditions from rain or melting snow.
Rasputitsa is derived from the root: путь (put, [putʼ]), means "road" or "way" or "travel"; + рас- (ras, [ʀas]) - is a word prefix, means "discrepancy" or "divergence"; + -иц (-its, [it͡s]) is a diminutive suffix; + а ([a]) is a feminine noun ending. In Russia, the term refers to two periods during the year – the spring and autumn –
Always be “Just around the corner”—There will be no Counter Offensive—Just a lot of wee ones that will take a bit of land here and there. The stalemate will continue on with paper “Victories” and more Propaganda wins. It exists to keep hope alive of a victory over Russia. That dream died when Balkmut fell. Bad stuff is on the way.
Yeah, this message is taking on the same stench as the left’s majorly overplayed “we have the goods on Trump, now!” crap...
I tend to agree with most of how you see this so called counter offensive. Clearly they were not ready so buying Time is important for them if this even happens. We’ll see if it does or not...or as you said battles on a small scale along the way.
The fishes in Lake Michigan are awaiting the promised counteroffensive.
LOL! thats a good one!
Im still waiting for the Grand Russian Winter Offensive!
“I feel I’ve been hearing this for the past month...”
That is all part of a deliberately planned Operation. The enemy will be kept on their toes and shifting around, to exhaust them before launching. That is just good practice - it is well worth doing.
It seemed endless, waiting for the ground assault to launch in Desert Storm. Same NATO planning staffs and planning processes for this one. Russia is in for a thorough, deliberate beating.
Its gonna sting.
Right, no future Ukrainian counter offensive, just maybe another russian tactical feint, strategic withdrawal or orderly regroup. Okay
LOL, Douglas Macgregor said the russians were going to clobber the Ukrainians this winter with their "Massive Winter Offensive"
