"There is a stalemate in Ukraine. Both sides take the opportunity to regroup. Time and logistics are critical". This is what a high-ranking official told Bulgarian journalists at NATO headquarters. Offensive operations will be conducted in due time. 

The official confirmed the Ukrainian defence minister Oleksii Reznikov words that Russia is preparing a major new offensive, and warned that it could begin as soon as 24 February - the anniversary of the initial invasion last year. It will be conducted as massive but smaller operations. 

The expectations of the Alliance are that the war will not end by the end of 2023, the official said.
