Ukraine is preparing for a major offensive operation, which should change the emphasis on the international arena and support the positive image of the Armed Forces against the background of a tense situation.
According to sources in the President's Office, Volodymyr Zelenskyi expects the commander of the Ground Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi to conduct an important offensive operation in the coming month. According to the plan, the operation aims not only at strategic military goals, but also at an informational advantage for Ukraine in the context of international negotiations.
"Zelensky wants to break the information wave that creates negative sentiments about the Armed Forces. It is important to change the public narrative, to demonstrate Ukraine's strength and determination in front of an international audience," sources say.
According to our sources, the strategy also includes organizing this offensive operation in the context of important international negotiations, in particular between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. This will make it possible to shift the emphasis from the problems of the Armed Forces and improve the information picture in conditions when international partners may ask questions about possible difficulties of Ukraine on the battlefield.
The operation will become an important element in the information context, as even small tactical successes can be greatly magnified in the political discussion on the world stage. Ultimately, this should help Ukraine retain the support of its partners and maintain international focus on its capabilities.
Such large-scale offensive operations always carry risks, but for the Ukrainian side it is important not only to achieve military goals, but also to maintain an information advantage. It is expected that due to significant military successes, Ukraine will be able to change the rhetoric in the international arena, demonstrating both its own ability to resist and the possibility of implementing strategic tasks in the conditions of military aggression.
