Abstract

The Ukrainian counteroffensive of June 2023 faced significant challenges, marked by uncertainty about its success. Based on three fundamental certainties, including the timing of the offensive, the employment of advanced technology provided by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the focus on the Zaporiyia region, the Ukrainian strategy sought to counter overwhelming Russian quantitative superiority. However, skeptical analysts point to the difficulties inherent in joint operations and deep Russian defenses. Although Ukraine is attempting a war of attrition, its future depends on NATO’s continued willingness to provide support.
