What to expect from the Armed Forces of Ukraine next?

Of course, we will not remain simply in a blind defense. Because this does not bring anything and ultimately leads to the fact that we retreat anyway, lose people and territories. Therefore, we combine defensive actions with active defense and active offensive actions.

Oleksandr Syrsky

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

According to the commander-in-chief, where possible, the Ukrainian Defense Forces strike at the Russian army and carry out successful counterattacks.

Attacks can be carried out where weaknesses in the enemy's defense have been identified.

It is for this purpose that Ukraine created and continues to scale up assault force units.

We are talking about separate units, regiments that were created at the beginning of the Kursk operation (…) and are currently fighting in virtually all difficult areas of the front. Both where we have the opportunity to attack, and where the enemy is successful and needs to be stopped and our settlements recaptured. In particular, as was the case in the Sumy region, — emphasized Syrsky.
