It has already been extended for four years and three months. And although no one believes that the end is near todayfrom kyiv they talk about a key moment in the medium term.
According to the testimony of a high military commander, Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky, Ukraine has six months to wrest the initiative on the front from Russia. Yes ok There has been no major progress for a long time. On the battlefield, Putin’s troops have been making progress for months. But something seems to change for a while now, in the opinion of analysts.
For the Ukrainian Army, six months from now will be a “turning point”, especially after a change in recent dynamicswith a increased pressure from the defending troops before the Russian invader.
Brigadier General Biletsky is commander of the Third Army Corps of Ukraine, one of the most technologically advanced combat forces in the country. In his interview with Reuters he considers that Russia is already showing signs of exhaustion and its lack of recent progress explains it.
For this reason and taking advantage of the current situation, the brigadier general insists that if the Ukrainian army manages to maintain its current momentum within six months, it will be able to take the initiative on the front. And with that, pressure Russia to abandon its plans about the last part of the Donetsk region, which it does not yet occupy.
From an undisclosed and underground location near Kharkov, the military high command sets priorities to be able to carry out the plans it manages.
“We need to define those directions in which we can improve our positions, take some strategic points and then talk to Russians from a position of strength, not weaknessabout a truly stable truce,” he expressed in the interview.
