Ukraine has 6 months to launch major ‘turning point’ in war with exhausted Russia, commander says

Ukraine has a six-month window to seize the battlefield momentum and create a major “turning point” in the war against Russia, whose invading force has been exhausted, a senior Kyiv commander said.

Brig. Gen. Andriy Biletsky, who leads Ukraine’s Third Army Corps, said Russia had suffered its worst year of the invasion since the war began in 2022, with Moscow’s army now exhausted and its manpower dwindling.

“I believe the next six to nine months are a turning point,” Biletsky told Reuters, predicting a major shift along the front lines. “More precisely, ​I think the next six are the most critical. “
