Ukraine’s offensive is expected to begin by June 10 – military analyst Hetman

He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV.

"Ukrainian troops have been conducting combat training and coordination, practising the actions of joint units, battalions, and brigades all the time while preparing for the offensive. Our troops are ready. In general, it takes a month to prepare, starting from the time the offensive is announced, because certain preparatory stages need to be carried out. According to all estimates, we have about a week left to prepare for the land offensive, which we expect. We can say that most likely our active offensive will begin by June 10. The offensive will not start today or tomorrow," said the reserve major.

Oleksiy Hetman summarised that in the first decade of June, Ukrainian forces will be ready to start pushing the enemy out of Ukrainian territories.
