UKRAINE is braced for a mega-blitz as Russia tries to force victory in its war before US weapons arrive.
A Kyiv spy chief warned Moscow was planning a huge assault starting next month.
It came as a Russian missile tore down a TV tower today in Ukraine’s second city, Kharkiv.
Experts fear the area — just 15 miles from Russia — could face a second ground offensive after beating off a tank assault on the first day of the war in February 2022.
Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s feared GUR military intelligence, warned life would be even more “difficult” from mid-May through early June.
But he insisted Ukraine would endure and prevail.
Budanov, who has survived repeated assassination attempts, said: “It is not catastrophic. But there will be problems from mid-May.”
Deliveries of US weapons are due to start within days after Republican congressmen ended a five-month deadlock in the House of Representatives.
The $61billion (£49billion) package is due to get final approval from the US Senate tomorrow.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said the new weapons would let Ukraine’s forces “stabilise the front line”.
MISSILES, gunboats and armoured vehicles will be sent over in Britain’s largest tranche of military aid for Ukraine yet.
It includes long-range Storm Shadow rockets, 400 vehicles and nearly four million bullets.
Rishi Sunak will tomorrow also unveil an extra £500million funding to help Ukraine’s efforts.
The PM said: “Defending Ukraine against Russia’s brutal ambitions is vital for our security and for all of Europe.
“If Putin is allowed to succeed, he will not stop at the Polish border.”
