so given all these factors, plus the fact that ukraine does not have air cover, how successful could this counter offensive actually be? the ukrainian forces wanted to retake all the occupied territories, including crimea. i do not think that that will happen any time soon, especially in light of what we re seeing right now. what ukraine does have in its favour, though, is some very powerful western supplied weaponry, such as, for example, the storm shadow long range missile, british supplied. and these are allowing ukraine to hit distant targets like fuel depots, ammunition storage points, command and control centres, trying to undermine russia s defences from within. but, you know, the problem here is that all of this takes time and that s a luxury ukraine doesn t have. within three months, the rainy season will have arrived, turning a lot of the roads into mud, making it difficult for ukraine to advance.
