A top war chief has said Ukraine is ready to launch its much-anticipated counter-offensive against Russian forces.
Talk of the offence has long been swirling but now Oleksiy Danilov — one of the country's most senior security officials — has revealed to the BBC that an assault to regain territory from President Vladimir Putin’s occupying forces could commence very soon.
He said it could be "tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or in a week", although he would not name a specific date.
