For the Russians, the situation will get more complicated as it goes on. Information about the supply of weapons to Ukraine is open, and it is known that we have already received up to 40% of the planned weapons,” he stressed.

The task is to bleed the enemy

The military expert emphasized that a strategic reserve level should be formed. Foreign experts suggest that it is necessary to form 3 corps of 20 thousand each with appropriate equipment.

Counteroffensive of Ukrainian forces: what is known

• Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov denied the information of journalists from The Washington Post, who doubted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would be able to launch a counteroffensive. Danilov emphasized that it is not worth reprinting this material. After all, the information in it, stressed the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, “does not correspond to reality from the word at all.”
• Serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yevgeny Karas believes that during the Ukrainian counter-offensive into the occupied territories, Ukrainians will have many “amazing special effects” from the Armed Forces and from the Main Intelligence Directorate. He stressed that it doesn't matter what he knows, what matters is what the enemy says and where he is afraid, and why we are all worried about Melitopol.
• The former head of the Lugansk regional military administration, Sergei Gaidai, noted that he does not like it when foreign media publish untrue details about the future counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He believes that let the offensive be there and when it is planned by the General Staff and the military command.
