From my point of view, this great offensive (in the East – ed.) has already begun. We must understand that this will not be a repeat of February 24, when the first airstrikes and explosions began. The big de facto offensive has already begun,” he said.
Ukrainian and Western diplomats said that in recent days they have observed the redeployment of Russian troops to the Donbass after serious failures by the occupiers to take Kyiv.
