Overview

• Ukraine is launching a spring counteroffensive against Russian forces in eastern Ukraine using weapons supplied by NATO allies.
• Ukraine has received 98% of promised combat vehicles and weapons from NATO, including tanks, to support the offensive.
• The counteroffensive is in its final stages of preparation, though some key weapons have not yet arrived and Russian forces have built up defenses.
• The counteroffensive will test if Russian forces have sufficiently reinforced their positions since the last major Ukrainian advance in November.
• The outcome of the counteroffensive could impact calls for a ceasefire and negotiations over the conflict.
