Major military operations are normally shrouded in secrecy. But Ukraine's planned offensive against Russia has been part of a lively public debate for months. This has created a wide range of expectations.
"In the best case, the Ukrainians really liberate a lot of territory, perhaps even pushing the Russians back to the line on Feb. 23 of last year before this massive Russian invasion began. That would be a huge blow to Moscow," said Steven Pifer, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who's now at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation

Me myself, I would work a Von Schlieffen Plan, it would have them go north then perform a turning maneuver to the east and come in behind the Russian fortification networks. once this attack occurs and the Russians react to it, assault the front lines and catch the Orc's between anvil and a hammer.. But that is me, I am not a Ukrainian, and have no dog in the fight. I can imagine President Z is trying to keep from invading Russia for fear of stoking national pride and all of a sudden Russia paints itself as a victim.
