“Spring is coming. The soil is drying," Prigozhhin said, which means "everything is in place for us to start rolling heavy equipment through the fields.”

Prigozhin, in an interview shared on Telegram, acknowledged Ukraine also had received a large amount of support from NATO countries, including military equipment, armored vehicles, and Leopard tanks, as well as around 200,000 trained reserves.

Officials in Kyiv have long warned of a spring offensive amid ramped-up military attacks from the Kremlin.
