MADRID, 31 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky has stressed his intention to strengthen the country's security with the help of his partners to stop Russia's intentions of moving to a new offensive stage in the war in the spring, as various news agencies have been predicting for weeks. western intelligence.

"Ukraine and our partners will do everything necessary to ensure that Russia's intentions to move to a new stage of the offensive with the aim of revenge fail," the Ukrainian president said in his evening message to the country's population.

Zelensky has pointed to a tank coalition, which he hopes will get "as many countries as possible" involved, to succeed on the battlefield against Russia.

Thus, he has stressed the urgency that the States that decide to collaborate with Ukraine provide what they can. "Some countries can provide training, some can provide ammunition. We need to work together," stressed the Ukrainian president.

In this sense, he has warned of the danger of Russia's attempts to achieve success in the war with the help of mercenaries from the private armed group Wagner, which is why they have urged their allies to supply armed cars.

"Every day they have new groups of personnel soldiers, or we see an increase in the number of 'Wagnerians'. All this information was processed by our Army. And the request to partners to strengthen our Armed Forces was based on this information" Zelensky has argued.

The chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Rob Bauer, pointed out on January 19 the possibility that Russia would launch a possible large-scale Russian offensive this spring because Moscow's strategic objectives "have not changed."

"That's why the Russians are likely to go for a next offensive. It's not something we know for sure. But that's based on the assumption that if they haven't changed their strategic objectives, they most likely will." The next thing that happens in the spring is a new offensive," he reflected after a press conference after the meeting of allied chiefs of the Defense Staff.

For all these reasons, the also admiral of the Dutch Navy insisted on the need for kyiv to prepare for this war scenario, in which requests to the allies to reinforce their military support are framed.
