This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine is readying soldiers for a major Russian offensive that is expected in the coming months, likely before the summer begins, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday.
In a separate interview Sunday morning on “Face the Nation,” Sen. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that he hopes the U.S. will be able to send aid shipments “with that longer-range ATACMS” as soon as possible.
Warner told “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan that shipments should go out quickly once the congressional aid package passes the Senate and reaches Mr. Biden, on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Zelenskyy told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker that being adequately prepared means having the weapons and equipment needed to fight back against the impending “full-scale” attack, and receiving those supplies before it happens.
Ukrainian troops managed to stave off Russian advancements through the winter but struggled to contend with Russia’s seemingly limitless stock of missiles and shells, which have decimated some places and allowed for growing occupation in the East.
During an interview several weeks ago in an undisclosed, bombed-out building in far-eastern Ukraine, Zelenskyy told a CBS News team that his country’s intelligence officials anticipated another major offensive from invading Russian troops in June, or, potentially even sooner, around the end of May.
