Well, according to GOP Senator Lindsey Graham it is:
x US Senator Graham said that Russia is in for a rude awakening when the Ukrainian counteroffensive begins.
"In the coming days, you will see an impressive display of strength on the part of the Ukrainians."

Now, I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him, but he’s probably right. Ukraine made this extremely well-produced counteroffensive trailer:

And the Russians know as well that judgment day is upon them, and are preparing for it:
x In Kursk and Rostov-on-Don, russians are building large-scale complexes to store the corpses of russian soldiers killed in the war against Ukraine. The area of each facility is over 4000 square meters.

There’s also this:
x 100 Leopard-1 tanks will be delivered to Ukraine earlier than expected. Germany's Rheinmetall worked very hard to make them battle-ready.
In total, some 230 tanks and 1550 armoured vehicles will be delivered. There will also be Leopard-2 tanks.

There has been a massive influx of heavy weaponry into Ukraine these past weeks, and Italy and the U.S just announced that there is more to come. In Italy’s case, the media reports they’re sending SAMP-T, Spada, and Skyguard air defense systems, and a total of 60 M109 self-propelled 155 mm howitzers. kyivindependent.com/…
Now where will the brave Ukrainians launch their attack? Most pundits think it will be in either Kherson or Zaporizhzhia and that can be true, but what if Ukraine decides to go through the Belgorod People’s Republic, which has been recognised by Ukraine as a sovereign independent nation and will/could serve as a buffer zone? What could the Russians do to stop them, since 97% of their forces are in Ukraine?
Ukraine could bypass all those heavy fortifications the Russians built, sweeping down from western Russia through eastern Ukraine and on to Crimea, It’s probably wishful thinking and maybe even a tad far-fetched, but I’m convinced that the Ukrainian counteroffensive, wherever it will start, will be a resounding success.
Expect it to commence in days!
