But the Counter Offensive hasn't started in real anger yet.
Ukraine forces are still conducting counter battery and creating toeholds in the defence lines where they can use as a spring board for the actual breakthrough.
They're trying to get the Russians to commit their reserves across many parts of the front, I image. Then when they do start their offensive in force they'll be able to get some immediate momentum.
Yeah, Ukraine has well-equipped brigades ready to roll once they find a weakness. Their artillery/MLRS destruction rate has been good.
