The counteroffensive

Ukraine has received 49 of 258 promised battle tanks, and Spain promised it would receive six more after April 9.

Britain announced it had finished training a second group of Ukrainian soldiers on the AS90 self-propelled howitzers it is donating, another step in Ukraine’s preparation for its spring counteroffensive.

The US said it was providing another $500m in ammunition for howitzers, rocket artillery, Patriot anti-air systems and other systems it has provided to Ukraine.

And Poland said it had transferred four of the 14 MiG-29 fighters it is giving Ukraine, following a similar move from Slovakia last month.

But there were still 11,000 Ukrainians in training in 26 countries, said US Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder. More than 4,000 of them would not finish their training on Stryker and M2 Bradley armoured fighting vehicles in Germany before the end of April, when they would return to Ukraine to form two brigades. He said a further 1,200 Ukrainian soldiers would train in Germany with the US personnel.

These figures suggested that a Ukrainian counteroffensive might not come until May, but Ukrainian forces already in the field were keeping Russian defenders under pressure.

Nataliya Humenyuk, spokesperson for Ukraine’s southern forces, said Russian troops in Kherson were finding it difficult to use their artillery because of the frequency with which pinpoint strikes were destroying their artillery and ammunition depots. The Russian forces were being forced to make more frequent use of aircraft as a result, she said

The Ukrainian general staff said Russian occupation forces were evacuating residents of Kherson on a voluntary basis. “In the Skadovsky district of Kherson region, the Russian occupation so-called authorities began compiling lists of persons from the number of locals who agree to ‘evacuation’ to Crimea or to the territory of the Russian Federation. It is known that the ‘evacuation’ will so far be carried out on a voluntary basis, primarily taking women and children out.”

Ukrainian military intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov told Gazeta.ua website different types of defection were taking place in the Russian camp.

“Thousands” of soldiers had crossed over to the Ukrainian side to surrender since the start of the war as morale and motivation remained low for the rank-and-file, he said.

More ominously, perhaps, for Putin, he spoke of Russian elites making contact with Ukrainian authorities to secure guarantees of safety.

“Many representatives of the so-called Russian elite already understand that this was a colossal mistake and a crime, and the finale will be tragic for Russia. They try to find options for their own salvation. For now, it is not about fighting for another country, but about one’s own security and business. They try to get in touch and agree on personal security guarantees. There are already such cases,” Yusov said.

“There is an abundance of sociological data showing that most people want this conflict to end, even if they support Putin or the regime or the invasion,” Maxim Alyukov, a researcher of Russian attitudes to the war at the Russian Institute in King’s College London, told Al Jazeera.

“There are radical pro-regime minorities who think that complete victory is the only option, as well as people with oppositional attitudes who want the withdrawal of troops no matter what. The majority are in between,” Alyukov said. “They are very much in favour of peace negotiations, ready for compromises and concessions. If Putin announces the withdrawal of troops, they will support it.”

Xi the peacemaker

As the war raged, Western leaders raised the stakes for Chinese President Xi Jinping, Putin’s only significant ally, who was in Moscow last month and has recently cultivated his image as a peace broker.

China had a “major role” to play in securing peace, said Macron in Beijing. But he was also cautionary. “We have decided since the beginning of the conflict to help the victim, and we have also made it very clear that anyone helping the aggressor would be an accomplice in breach of international law.”

Unlike the widely criticised November trip of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, this one was not conciliatory.

“Any peace plan which would in effect consolidate Russian annexations is simply not a viable plan. We have to be frank on this point,” European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said in a speech days before accompanying Macron.

“How China continues to interact with Putin’s war will be a determining factor for EU-China relations going forward,” she said.

China has provided Russia with economic and diplomatic support, but not military aid.

The visit was the second from European leaders in a week. On March 31 Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez urged Xi to speak directly with Zelenskyy.

Type of fighter jets donated by Poland aren't modern enough, says air force​

The type of fighter jets donated by Poland yesterday do not fully meet Ukraine's battlefield needs, said one of the most senior commanders in its air force.

Serhiy Holubtsov said Kyiv was in dire need of F-16 fighter jets, which were "four or five times" more effective.

Poland announced it would send a total of 16 Soviet-era MiG-29 planes, while Western allies in general - and most importantly the US - have resisted calls for F-16s.

"The F-16 is a fighter that has become a multirole aircraft which can fulfil the entire spectrum of airborne tasks.

The MiG-29 unfortunately, is from the last century," Mr Holubtsov said on national television.

Washington ruled out sending F-16s to Ukraine, with US officials estimating it would take 18 months to complete training and delivery.

But as we reported earlier today, air force general Serhii Holubtsov said his pilots who tested in the US had shown they could master the planes on a "significantly reduced" timetable.

He did not specify how long that revised training time might be.

East and West ideological confrontation won't weaken after "guns fall silent" in Ukraine, Belarus leader says​

From CNN's Radina Gigova in London

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said Thursday that he "agrees" with remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron that no country can deploy nuclear weapons on the territory of another country, and said he believes the ideological confrontation between the East and West will not weaken "even after the guns fall silent" in Ukraine, according to Belarus state news agency BelTa.

Speaking to reporters while visiting Moscow for meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Lukashenko responded to a question about the comments by the French president, saying: “I agree with him. This is why Americans should remove all the nuclear weapons from five or six countries where they are deployed. And that's it."

In March, CNN reported on Russia's plan to station tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus. Putin said that Moscow will complete the construction of a special storage facility for tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus by the beginning of July.

During a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State, Lukashenko said an "effective" defense system has been developed in the Union State, according to BelTa.

“The Union State has developed an effective system of defense and security, within the framework of which the regional grouping of troops (forces) and the unified regional air defense system operate successfully," Lukashenko said.

"Steps taken to strengthen border security have significantly increased the protection of the Union State from international terrorism, uncontrolled migration flows, weapons and ammunition smuggling, drug trafficking, and illegal economic activity,” he said.

Lukashenko arrived in Moscowon Wednesday for a two-day visit that included several meetings with Putin and Russian officials.
 

Analysis: Timing will be key as Ukraine prepares to strike back against Russia​

Analysis by CNN's Tim Lister

Weather the storm, exhaust the enemy and then strike back — that has been the mantra of Ukraine’s military for months, one echoed by senior US and NATO officials since the winter.

But the Ukrainians themselves may not yet know if it can be executed and how as they study the 1,000-kilometer (621 miles) front line for Russian vulnerabilities,

Nevertheless, they are aware it will be a crucial chapter in the conflict. Maj. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, said in an interview last month that Russia and Ukraine will fight “a decisive battle this spring, and this battle will be the final one before this war ends.”

That suggests the Ukrainians may take their time to maximize capabilities. But preparations are well underway.

The essential preconditions for a Ukrainian counter-offensive include the completion of training and integration of new units, degrading the Russian rear, a resilient logistics chain and real-time intelligence.

The “intelligence picture will inform things like where there might be weaknesses in Russian defensive deployments, as well as locations of Russian HQ, logistics, and reserve force locations,” said Mick Ryan, formerly a general in the Australian army who was recently in Ukraine.

Ukraine is standing up several new corps, each of which would comprise several thousand troops. “Included in these will not only be new western tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, wheeled vehicles and other equipment but also a lot of engineering equipment,” Ryan told CNN.

These units may be nearly ready.
“Ukrainian sources have already telegraphed that they’re forming or have formed six to nine new brigades for counteroffensives,” said Kateryna Stepanenko at the Institute for the Study of War in Washington DC.

Ryan says such ambitious offensives consume large amounts of fuel, munitions, food, medical supplies and spare equipment. The logistics chain – which may be hampered by poor weather more than armor – is critically important.
==========================

Hii offensive ikilipa vizuri, itakuwa kete muhimu kwa Ukraine kupata sauti kwenye meza ya mazungumzo.
