In this video I analyze alleged leaked slides from a briefing about NATO plans to train and equip a Ukrainian spring offensive. Overall, I believe the slides are authentic, however there are reasons they might be deliberate military deception by the USA. But if true, the leak reveals an extremely dangerous escalation that everyone should take seriously. The included figures also seem to confirm my previous statements about the role and limitations of HIMARS in Ukraine.
I will write a corresponding article too – but this video was like 10 times more in-depth and harder to put together than I anticipated, it’s 1:30 in the morning, and I’m tired. I’ll follow up, promise 🙂
The Sonar21 article I reference can be read here.

EDIT: See my part 2 on this subject below:
Upon finishing this video I looked for any new updates, and apparently, I’m not the only one to voice the idea that this leak might actually be American military deception. (See this Business Insider story here).
Also check out my earlier HIMARS post that I reference.
