Ukraine's Spring Offensive: Truce or Bloody Stalemate?

Ukrainian forces have established positions on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), indicating that Russian forces are losing their defensive positions in the south. The scale and intentions of the landings are unknown, but leaked Pentagon intelligence suggests that Ukraine is planning a spring counteroffensive. The move places Ukrainian troops closer to Crimea and allows them to flank the Russian military from the west.
