ISW: Russian troops preparing for offensive in spring ISW: Russian troops preparing for offensive in spring

Russia may launch an offensive operation in the coming months, possibly in the spring, reported from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

Ukrainian intelligence assessed that Russian forces are preparing for an offensive effort in the spring or early summer of 2023, partially confirming ISW’s standing assessment that Russian troops may undertake a decisive action in the coming months.

Experts also noted that Russia continues to deepen military and economic relations with Iran in an effort to engage in mutually beneficial sanctions evasion.

"A Russo-Iranian joint production deal could allow Iran to receive Russian Mi-28 and Ka-52 attack helicopters. Both Tehran and Moscow are likely looking to these agreements to mitigate the pressure of sanctions levied against them by the US,” reads the report.
