An American adviser to the Ukraine is claiming that the Ukraine is about to “shock the world” with a major counteroffensive.

The Ukrainian military is poised to unleash a massive offensive against Russian troops in the coming weeks, which will stun the global community, a US adviser to Kiev’s top general claimed on Thursday.
Speaking in an interview with the Ukrainian daily New Voice, Dan Rice, an Iraq War veteran who now serves as an adviser to Valery Zaluzhny, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, claimed Russia had encountered serious hurdles while trying to gain control of the key Donbass city of Artyomovsk, known in Ukraine as Bakhmut.
In recent weeks, Russian forces have captured several villages around the strategic logistical hub, with Evgeny Prigozhin, chief of the Wagner Private Military Company, claiming the group was in control of 70% of the city. Last week, Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, described the Ukrainian troops’ situation on the ground as “very poor,” saying they were virtually encircled and suffering heavy losses.
While Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky himself has described the battle as “one of the hardest,” Rice played down those difficulties, focusing instead on adverse weather conditions, and asserting that Moscow had chosen a “terrible time to attack.”
He stated that when the “right time” for Kiev’s offensive comes in the spring, “Ukraine will have a much stronger army, and much better provision than it had a year ago” when hostilities started.
“And you have to go on the offensive to win back positions. And I believe that this spring Ukraine will have a very powerful counteroffensive that will shock the world,” Rice insisted.
I remember 30 years ago when Sting told me on live television that his tag team partner at the WCW Wargames was going to shock the world. His tag team partner did shock the world, but just not in the way that they expected.
I fully expect that the Ukraine will shock the world in the same way that the Shockmaster shocked the world with his infamous wrestling debut.
