LPR Defence: Ukraine not ready for full-scale offensive against Donbass

Ukraine is not ready for a full-scale offensive against Donbass, Lugansk People’s Republic People’s Militia chief-of-staff Yan Leschenko told journalists.

"Based on our intelligence reports and analytics of our experts, we can conclude that currently the Ukrainian armed forces are not ready for a full-scale offensive along the entire line of contact," he said.

A new round of escalation in Donbass began in late 2021, as Ukraine and some Western countries alleged that Russia is amassing troops on the borer with Ukraine. 

Moscow has repeatedly denied any such plans, persistently calling for negotiations and peaceful settlement of the Ukraine-Donbass conflict.
Recent intelligence reports cited by the LPR and DPR People's Militia show that Kiev is deploying additional troops and weapon to the so-called JFO zone in what seems to be an attempt to fuel the crisis. *t
