According to the official, leading NATO analysts assume that a critical half-year of the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine is expected, and as early as May, Western weapons will be used to oust the Russians from the south and east of Ukraine.
"Preparation, materials, logistics, and knowledge of secret services, partners are now doing everything to conduct a successful counteroffensive. We are preparing for a spring or summer offensive. The next six months will be a key period," said the representative of the Alliance.
He noted that the occupiers "rightly assume" that the main strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will take place in Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia regions, and the goal of the offensive in the southeast will be to break through the land bridge to Crimea.
One of the NATO leaders emphasized that he would not comment on the details of the future operations of the Armed Forces.

Commenting on the possible offensive of the AFU on Crimea, he stated that Ukraine has the right to regain its entire territory.
