Russia will prepare counteroffensive actions, it may be in late May or June - Zelenskyy.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Russian army is currently preparing counteroffensives that could begin in late spring or early summer.

The President said this in an interview with CBS, Censor.NET reports.

"Today, the situation in the East, where it was and is the most dangerous of all areas of Ukraine, has been stabilized. As far as it is possible. Given the fact that there is a shortage of appropriate weapons and ammunition. Given the fact that we are starting to prepare brigades for the relevant actions that are important to us, we have stabilized the situation. It is better than it was two or three months ago.

But it is important that we share all the information with our partners and say that Russia will be preparing counteroffensive actions, which may be the end of May or June. We must not only prepare for this, not only stabilize," the president said.

According to Zelenskyy, partners are sometimes very happy that Ukraine has stabilized the situation.

"They say: "Okay, you have the strength". We say: "No, we need help now to train brigades that will have to fight for our land." Especially at the moment of counteroffensive actions that Russia wants to launch," the head of state explained.

Earlier, The Economist published an article stating that the Russian army may be preparing a major offensive this summer.
