President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot launch a counteroffensive due to a lack of weapons and ammunition.“We are waiting for the receipt of ammunition from our partners. We cannot yet launch a counteroffensive,” the President of Ukraine said. According to him, the situation in the east of the country remains difficult, including because the Russian military daily uses three times more shells than the Armed Forces of Ukraine.In addition, Zelensky stressed that Ukraine needs additional support from allies, including the supply of fighter jets.In late 2022 and early 2023, Russia attempted an offensive in several sectors of the front, but by the end of March, Russian troops had not achieved significant success. Moreover, some Western experts have already expressed the opinion that the Russian offensive has run out of steam and, as expected, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will go on the counteroffensive in the near future.
