US says tipping point in Ukraine-Russia war could come this spring

This was reported by The Washington Post.

According to the journalists, US officials have conveyed information to the Ukrainian authorities that a turning point in this war may soon come.

In recent months, the war in eastern Ukraine has become a slow meat grinder in which neither side has an advantage. Biden's representatives believe the tipping point will come this spring, when Russia is expected to launch an offensive and Ukraine will launch a counteroffensive to try to regain lost territory.

U.S. officials believe that Ukraine needs to prioritize territories for a spring counteroffensive, because defending and attacking at the same time will not work, and continuing to fight wherever Russia sends troops will work in Moscow's favor.

U.S. President Joe Biden's entourage believes that Ukraine must regain as much of its territory as possible before sitting down with Putin.
