Russian troops continue their offensive in the east and are gaining strength for several main reasons.
The Ukrainian president said about this Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde in .
– We have prepared 14 brigades, this is no longer a secret. The brigades that we wanted to arm, defend our territory and organize rotation, giving the soldiers the opportunity to rest. If only three out of 14 brigades are staffed, will we be able to stop the Russians? – he noted.

The second reason for the Russian offensive at the front, according to the president, is fear.
– If they retreat, they will be killed. This is absolutely true. We will never be able to afford this, never. It is illogical to fight for a person's life without preserving it. Russians do not want to think about it. Putin is indifferent, he does not count the dead, — said the head of state.
Why the Russian Federation continues to advance on the front
According to Zelensky, the inability to use Western weapons as Ukraine considers necessary is also the reason for the advance of Russian troops.
– The inability to use all our weapons to stop the enemy is a serious problem, – he said.
The head of state noted that the Russian armed forces are now using large resources to capture the entire Donetsk region:
– It is difficult on the entire Eastern Front. Since the Russians failed to take Kharkov – and we understand that they will not do this – their main goal has changed.
Zelensky reported that the front on which the occupiers are concentrating their efforts is, of course, the East as a whole, Slavyansk, but also the city of Pokrovsk. In addition, according to him, the Russian Federation is trying to capture Konstantinovka, Toretsk, but so far these are only plans.
