The weather conditions will not prevent the Ukrainian military from continuing their offensive for about one and a half to two months. This was stated by the White House National Security Council Coordinator John Kirby during a briefing.

According to the American official, the weather will not interfere with the offensive for another 6-8 weeks.

In about two weeks, the White House official said, the weather conditions will be worse, which will affect the conduct of hostilities and may complicate them.

Kirby added that during these approximately 6-8 weeks of "good fighting weather," the United States wants to be sure that the Ukrainian Defense Forces can succeed.
