Hello Team!
Jonathan starts the video by mentioning Zelensky's statement that the Ukrainian counter-offensive is about to gain pace as they are demining certain areas. Jonathan believes the strategy is different from what was initially envisaged, with a focus on hammering Russian equipment and positions before taking ground, similar to the approach used in Kherson.
