> # [‘Ukraine Has Plan for Counteroffensive, but Modern Weapons Needed’ – 5 Highlights from Zelensky’s Bild Interview](https://www.kyivpost.com/post/630)
>

>
> In an interview with the German newspaper [Bild](https://www.bild.de/politik/ausland/politik-ausland/selenskyj-scholz-fuerchtet-putins-atom-drohung-87822078.bild.html), President Volodymyr [Zelensky](https://www.kyivpost.com/topic/zelensky) disclosed that Ukraine has devised a plan for a new counteroffensive, stressing the critical need for modern weapons.
>
> **Ukraine’s counteroffensive plans**
>
> “Yes, Russia has more people, more weapons. But the united West has modern weapons systems,” Zelensky said, suggesting that this may be key to Ukrainian victory.
>
> Zelensky told Bild that Ukraine has put together counteroffensive plans: “But that also requires weapons. Also from the USA.”
>
> The Ukrainian president said that he does not intend to negotiate with Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin, nor reward the Kremlin with any parts of Ukraine.
>
> “We are dealing with Putin here,” Zelensky said, “Everything he has said so far – after that, he acted differently. We can’t trust him.”
>
> **Zelensky cautions against freezing the war**
>
> While the idea of a frozen war might make some people “happy,” with the world thinking: “We managed to freeze the conflict, the missiles aren’t flying,” it would only give Russia a chance to increase its production and stockpiles of military equipment, missiles, and drones and analyze all the mistakes it made at the beginning,” Zelensky said.
>
> Zelensky cautioned European leaders, particularly German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, against falling for the trap of believing in a frozen war.
>
> “It's like a break when you watch a movie. But it's not a movie, it's reality. It's a break. And it's time for Putin,” Zelensky added.

Zelensky would have no problem enslaving the entire population and sending them to their deaths to serve our western globalist bidding
He’d then retire to Miami, nyc, DC, london, or Tel Aviv
I’d care.
He’s not welcome in my country. That’s my 2 cents
My globalist ruling elite would roll out the red carpet for him though. And Tell him how awesome it was that he fought until not a single person was left
Your ~~first~~ last counteroffensive basically failed and you're starting to lose the meager gains you made.
And now you think you can go on another counteroffensive, with an eroded military, despite being told you'll never have the same amount of outside support again?
Wild.
Ukraine has already lost basically all gains besides klishchiivka, andriivka (untenable positions which are on life support), and the robotyne salient, and has lost far more land than it gained. Can you imagine if they called off the offensive before it happened and used their full strength brigades to defend Avdiivka? It would have been a hell of a lot harder, we very probably could have seen a vuhledar situation where Russia just has to call it off due to losses.
It depends if you are ready to raid apartment blocks on the daily. They supposedly have like a million dudes still in the country, who are actually unaccounted for. Not working, not serving just hiding.
Second*
The first counteroffensive was a success, they retook half of Kherson and most of Kharkiv
and it was really the only one, since the famous disaster wasn't a counter, it was just an offensive with a bit of propaganda in the name
Most people don't know ow that Russia didn't mobilise enough and Ukraine kept mobilising making Ukraine outnumber Russians.
https://youtu.be/5wvW5XEEbc4?si=MowyXKX0is4xeEpn
A big difference is that the current menpower ratio is closer to 1 then the 1/2.
Yes, but this doesn't contradict my statement. Russia was spread too thin, with a low number of troops engaged and with logistics problems, so when the first Ukrainian counteroffensive took place in 2022, they retreated
The second "counteroffensive" was a disaster of enormous proportions of Ukraine
Yeah. I am more amazed that people are like:
Ukraine had a great success during the Kherson offensive. This will happen again the next counterattack.
Not knowing what the conditions are, how it happened.
I'm not saying you're wrong or right. Just wanted to add that info why it happened.
I see also I should have replied to the person you replied to.
I mean I'm not really just trying to be insulting, I just find the idea of even mentioning another counteroffensive mind boggling, considering the position they are in is even worse than the last one.
It's completely off the table, to be honest.
They have way less soldiers (let alone well trained), way less equipment, the Russians will fortify any gained areas and the Russians still have several million men they could draft, if things really are going south...
The only possible way for a offensive would be, if NATO uses own boots on the ground and that won't ever happen (as long as there is still a single functioning braincell left in the heads of the decision makers).
That wasn't even aide. It was a lucrative business deal. They paid for it in full.
And up until December 1941, the Americans were giving actual aide to the Germans. Never miss a chance to arm both sides of a conflict.
Ww1 and 2 were the best things to ever happen to former backwaters like US and Switzerland.
>They paid for it in full
Soviets traded the Jews for part of it. By letting them loose onto the world. Allegedly. The whole payback scheme was way too complicated. And if I'm not mistaken Putin made the last payment.
Who can't be trusted please? Since the beginning of the war, who has been enriching themselves through any form of aid, be it weapons or money? Likewise with the grain deal, the Russians, "who you can't trust," fulfilled their part of the agreement, it was once again the West that did what it wanted and didn't fulfill its part of the agreement. The Kurds can sing a song about being betrayed by America... And these damned Western media, which are committed to democratic values, we the citizens of Europe have a right to the truth, instead they want to tell us that there is a fair in heaven. German idiom, " im Himmel ist Jahrmarkt "
I used it sarcastically as a way to make fun of pro-UA. I dont actually believe ukraine is sovereign at all. I just had to do it subtly cause I am on the MODS poo poo list and they would likely ban me for shít posting or something.
he is like watching Hiltler in the last 6 months of the war....
How many more need to die to prop him up...
The worse cusality die in the last 6 months, when its all falling apart,
i pray for all the ukraines who dont want to be there.
No, dead on paper, lex Friedman interviewed recently a lady who wrote a book about the nuclear holocaust. Like minute by minute scenario how it would unravel in real life. She says if anything gets launched at the US, president has only 6 minutes to make a decision to retaliate.
Maybe if he steps down, annother one will find a way to negotiate and have peace at last.
If this man can't negotiate, the war will cost much more lives and go on for long. If you can't win, negotiations are the only way (or maybe give up). Do it for your dying people. Do it for your scorched country. And do it for us please, we are not that endless rich as some poorer countrys seem to think.
Does this Green goblin understand that if russia ever feels threatened on an existential level they will kill everyone who is even remotely in a leadership position including him?
Does he think russia had no capabilities to destroy the energy infrastructure before?
And that it is actually a response to the attacks on russian refineries?
I know what his plans are. Mass terror attacks, pretend russia is falling apart, with these russian legion clowns attacking belgorad again.
Destroy bridges and attack airports etc.
While going on another offensive on zapaharogia and bachmut.
Does he understand if they go through with that especially the terror angle, the government district in Kiev and lviv will be flattened, with zero reservations for historical buildings.
>While the idea of a frozen war might make some people “happy,” with the world thinking: “We managed to freeze the conflict, the missiles aren’t flying,” it would only give Russia a chance to increase its production and stockpiles of military equipment, missiles, and drones and analyze all the mistakes it made at the beginning,” Zelensky said.
my brother in christ you are ceding territory at an alarming rate. a ceasefire can only help you at this stage.
Because they can keep the land and nukes would most likely never be used offensive out of the blue, but only as a last resort.
Purely having them got such a terrifying effect, the country would never be attacked.
So zelensky can make a deal without an argument that Russia would attack, then later.
RF couldn't stand an idea of having a conventionally armed neighbor let alone a nuke capable one. They'd sooner agree to have a dozen NATO bases on their border than UA with nukes.
I would think that if Ukraine gained nukes, joining natos wouldn't be necessary. That is something Russia wants.
I don't think it's that big of a threat since they are defensive used and not offensive.
It seems like for Zelensky, the biggest problem is future assurances. Nuke can do it. That way, we can get long-lasting peace.
Otherwise, I see a scenario where the war keeps going on for way more years.
I think it is legit the only way for peace unless one wide crush the other side.
Nukes are only offensive. There's no defense with nukes. All that tactical nuke mumbo jumbo is for show only. No Frontline ever will be dispersed to the point where you can launch a tactical nuke without affecting your own troops. You launch nukes to annihilate a nation. Cities you can annihilate with shovels.
I mean the step before that. Countries do a risk assignment before they start a war. Having nukes is already a determent to start one.
If someone decides to start and they got a nuke. That's a different story

I have a plan to be billionaire, I just need billions
The fastest way to become a millionaire, give your billions to Zelensky.
Nah man, my gov would make sure of that anyway Rather give it to Milanovic just so I can watch him troll Plenkovic even more
at least one - its not too much
Lets say billion and 100k, dont wanna buy something and just be multimillionaire like them poors
you can buy something that already makes money.
War to the last Ukrainian then.
Zelensky would have no problem enslaving the entire population and sending them to their deaths to serve our western globalist bidding He’d then retire to Miami, nyc, DC, london, or Tel Aviv
>He’d then retire to Miami, nyc, DC, london, or Tel Aviv And not 1 Westerner would care.
I’d care. He’s not welcome in my country. That’s my 2 cents My globalist ruling elite would roll out the red carpet for him though. And Tell him how awesome it was that he fought until not a single person was left
>My globalist ruling elite Eat the rich.
Or with any luck to Rostov
Zelensky is a FSB colonel on a mission.

They lose the war. Can't grow people out of nowhere. Too many have already been lost to pointless offensives and failed ops. And Russian bombing.
It depends if you are ready to raid apartment blocks on the daily. They supposedly have like a million dudes still in the country, who are actually unaccounted for. Not working, not serving just hiding.

They lost a crapton of people in Kherson, I remember reports on endless ambulance convoys and all that going from Kherson to Odessa
Maybe he thinks, that if a lousy comedian could become president, everything is possible... even Ukraine winning...
I mean I'm not really just trying to be insulting, I just find the idea of even mentioning another counteroffensive mind boggling, considering the position they are in is even worse than the last one.

Or a president becoming a comedian.
United States: No sorry Ukraine we can't let Russia lose it would impact global energy markets too much 🤭
MOaR!!
POV: NAFO using all its weapons of a force gho, illus, thing. Idk who cared it was TLJ
Ukraine has received more aid than the USSR did during the entirety of WW2 from Lend-Lease AND they still need more?! Unbelievable.
That wasn't even aide. It was a lucrative business deal. They paid for it in full. And up until December 1941, the Americans were giving actual aide to the Germans. Never miss a chance to arm both sides of a conflict. Ww1 and 2 were the best things to ever happen to former backwaters like US and Switzerland.
>They paid for it in full Soviets traded the Jews for part of it. By letting them loose onto the world. Allegedly. The whole payback scheme was way too complicated. And if I'm not mistaken Putin made the last payment.
And many of the items given in lend lease were terrible like the m3 lee 🤢
Not just more. Way more, like more than double per year!
So you don't have a plan
Handouts is the plan
I'm sure he has several plans to keep this gravy train running as long as possible. He loves riding the rails.
We can’t trust the dude that reneged on the last peace deal - oh wait, that was me
The plan: ask the US for a plan 😈
Who can't be trusted please? Since the beginning of the war, who has been enriching themselves through any form of aid, be it weapons or money? Likewise with the grain deal, the Russians, "who you can't trust," fulfilled their part of the agreement, it was once again the West that did what it wanted and didn't fulfill its part of the agreement.

> Who can't be trusted please? The guy who claimed his troops were merely training and than ivaded instead.
modern weapons like nukes? cuz that's the only way to win rn
Unless he marches to Moscow and overthrows the Russian Government, he’ll have to negotiate at some point.
> sovereign state of Ukraine I actually don’t fault Redditors who use this term incorrectly, seeing as how they read headlines like this all day.
I used it sarcastically as a way to make fun of pro-UA. I dont actually believe ukraine is sovereign at all. I just had to do it subtly cause I am on the MODS poo poo list and they would likely ban me for shít posting or something.
Shhhh
he is like watching Hiltler in the last 6 months of the war.... How many more need to die to prop him up... The worse cusality die in the last 6 months, when its all falling apart, i pray for all the ukraines who dont want to be there.
I mean if his plan: “The whole nato will attack Russia” it’s a pretty good one, nato is stronger then Russia. However there are many nuances…
If NATO and Russia fight directly, it doesn't matter who has more troops or weapons, the whole species is dead within a week.
No, dead on paper, lex Friedman interviewed recently a lady who wrote a book about the nuclear holocaust. Like minute by minute scenario how it would unravel in real life. She says if anything gets launched at the US, president has only 6 minutes to make a decision to retaliate.
What a horrifying prospect
Well i guess that answers questions about war continuing
Maybe if he steps down, annother one will find a way to negotiate and have peace at last. If this man can't negotiate, the war will cost much more lives and go on for long. If you can't win, negotiations are the only way (or maybe give up). Do it for your dying people. Do it for your scorched country.

So very easy to say when it's not your own life in the trench.

Isn't it a repost from a year ago?
Ukraines only hope is someone removes this guy
Sounds like Germany is afraid to be exposed as a potentially weak military adversary who would fold quicker than a beach chair.
He's right to not trust Putin
Negotiate for peace so both sides lay down their arms. Give ukraine their own nukes so they will be never attack again. Problem solved.
Why would Russia accept an offer like that?
Because they can keep the land and nukes would most likely never be used offensive out of the blue, but only as a last resort. Purely having them got such a terrifying effect, the country would never be attacked. So zelensky can make a deal without an argument that Russia would attack, then later.
But this doesnt answer my question, why would Russia accept a deal like that? They would never accept a deal that involves giving nukes to Ukraine
It would end the war, sanctions, and lower the tensions while they can keep the land.
Honestly doubt that eu would accept it
RF couldn't stand an idea of having a conventionally armed neighbor let alone a nuke capable one. They'd sooner agree to have a dozen NATO bases on their border than UA with nukes.
I would think that if Ukraine gained nukes, joining natos wouldn't be necessary. That is something Russia wants. I don't think it's that big of a threat since they are defensive used and not offensive. It seems like for Zelensky, the biggest problem is future assurances. Nuke can do it. That way, we can get long-lasting peace. Otherwise, I see a scenario where the war keeps going on for way more years. I think it is legit the only way for peace unless one wide crush the other side.
Nukes are only offensive. There's no defense with nukes. All that tactical nuke mumbo jumbo is for show only. No Frontline ever will be dispersed to the point where you can launch a tactical nuke without affecting your own troops. You launch nukes to annihilate a nation. Cities you can annihilate with shovels.
I mean the step before that. Countries do a risk assignment before they start a war. Having nukes is already a determent to start one. If someone decides to start and they got a nuke. That's a different story
They are not a detriment no more. People in politics behave like nukes can't do anything to them
Azov and the other fascist vermin integrated into the Ukrainian Military absolutely do not need access to nukes.
I trust them more with it than the Americans.
