UAF counteroffensive
- Advisor to the head of the President's Office Aleksey Arestovich expressed the opinion that for a counteroffensive in the South our Armed Forces first need to deplete the enemy with maneuverable defense. He believes that it would be inappropriate to launch a counteroffensive earlier. At the same time, Arestovich assured that everything was going according to plan with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- Our soldiers are asking the Ukrainians to keep quiet about the operations that are taking place in the South. After all, sometimes Ukrainians distribute too much. Therefore, there was a case when the enemy tried to counterattack in the Kherson region. Our defenders fought back.
- And the American Institute of War generally assumed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine either went on a counteroffensive or were intensively preparing for it. Experts noted that several facts point to this at once, as well as statements made not only in an anonymous conversation with journalists, but also publicly.
