"A complex and ambitious task." To complete the active phase of war before winter is vital - Ermak

Presidential Office Head Andriy Yermak said it is vital to complete the active phase of war before winter, as the risks of Russian attacks on the heat and power infrastructure of Ukraine are maintained. “Of course, such risks (missile attacks on thermal power facilities - Red) are stored throughout the war. The Russian army continues to attack our infrastructure. This is one of their goals, they do not even hide it, ”he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

According to him, "this is one of the reasons why we want to take maximum measures to complete the active part of the war by the end of autumn. " Yermak noted that it is a difficult and ambitious task, but it is vital. “We do everything to ensure that the goals of the de -occupation are achieved. And, accordingly, we explain it to our partners. They share our position, ”he said.

According to the chairman of the Presidential Office, the longer the Russian troops are in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and try to dig there, the more difficult it will be to deduct these territories. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov stated that it is quite possible to end the war by the end of the year.
