Could Ukraine's counteroffensive be successful?

There are signs a Ukrainian counteroffensive is underway in the country's south. Military experts tell DW the time and place are right for Ukraine to strike back at Russian forces. Can Ukraine push Russian forces out of the country's south, as it managed to do in the north? If so, how soon could this be achieved? Ukrainians these days are preoccupied with questions like these.
