Evidence supports that this prediction largely came true.

1. Increasing sophistication of Western weapons to Ukraine (early 2023)

   • In January 2023, the U.S. and several European allies agreed to send modern Western main battle tanks (M1 Abrams, Leopard 2, Challenger 2) to Ukraine, a major step‑up from earlier equipment.
   • Through early 2023, the U.S. and its allies also expanded deliveries of longer‑range precision munitions (e.g., GLSDB was announced, and later in 2023 the U.S. provided ATACMS), advanced air defenses (Patriot systems), and more sophisticated armored vehicles and artillery.
   • This clearly fits “more and more sophisticated weapons, more and more support.”

2. Support for a major Ukrainian counteroffensive in spring/summer 2023

   • The widely reported 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive began in early June 2023, following months of Western training and equipment deliveries specifically intended to prepare new Ukrainian brigades for offensive operations.
   • Western officials and media throughout spring 2023 described Western assistance as “shaping” or “setting conditions” for this expected counteroffensive, including the coordinated tank and armored vehicle packages announced in January–February 2023.
   • While the main push started in early June (late spring/early summer), the intent and preparation through spring 2023 were clearly to enable a large counteroffensive.

Given:

• Trend: clear escalation in sophistication and scale of Western weapon deliveries into 2023.
• Culmination: those deliveries were explicitly framed by U.S. and allied governments as preparation for, and support of, a major Ukrainian counteroffensive that launched in mid‑2023.

The core substance of the prediction — continued escalation of sophisticated Western support leading up to a major Ukrainian counteroffensive in spring 2023 — is borne out by events. The exact start date of the offensive edges into early summer, but in common political/military discourse it is still referred to as the spring–summer 2023 counteroffensive that Western aid was designed to enable.

Conclusion: The prediction is best judged as right.
