Ukraine's Counteroffensive Plans Were Leaked To Russia, Says Zelensky

Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, hinted on Sunday that Moscow had been privy to the preparations for Kyiv's eagerly anticipated counteroffensive in 2023.

Fueled by billions of dollars in Western weapons, Ukraine's 2023 counteroffensive largely failed and was unable to breach numerous lines of Russian defenses and fortifications.

"Our counteroffensive action plans were on the Kremlin's table before the counteroffensive actions began," Zelensky said Sunday at a press conference in Kyiv.

Zelensky said that in an effort to prevent a repeat, Ukraine was putting together "several" iterations of its military plan for 2024.

Asked whether Ukraine had plans for another attempt at a counteroffensive this year, he said: "We have a plan, a clear plan. Several plans will be prepared because of information leaks."
