Leaked Pentagon documents contain date of Ukrainian counteroffensive’s start

Newsweek reported the information.

The journalists reported that they had read more than 40 documents containing intelligence information, 20 of which were published for the first time.

One of the most interesting conclusions of the analysis says that the "foreign deliveries” to Ukraine will end with a "spring counteroffensive" scheduled for April 30, 2023.

The offensive will be carried out by the 10th Ukrainian Operational Corps, consisting of 9 brigades being re-equipped by the US and allies. As well as 3 additional brigades that will be "fully sourced by Ukraine."

"Total equipment required for (9) BDEs is 253 x Tanks, 381 x Mech[anized vehicles], 480 x Motor[ized] vehicles, and 147 x Artillery plus delivery of 571 x U.S. up-armored HMMWVs," one of the documents says.

• Earlier, the head of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, said that Russia had failed in its winter-spring offensive and lost its attack potential.

• Meanwhile, Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov says the Armed Forces of Ukraine will launch a counteroffensive only when they are fully prepared and receive everything promised by their partners.
