"Separate Operations": Zelensky stated the beginning of the Armed Forces counter -offensive
"The counter -offensive has been going on for several days. The full -scale war has stretched 1. 5 thousand kilometers along the border with Russia," he said. Podolyak touched the issue of weapons supply from the West. Kyiv will use the weapons transferred to him to fight in the territories he considers his own. The adviser to the head of OPP called on the Allies to pass to Ukraine F-16 fighters. The Armed Forces need a strong combat aviation to close the airspace, he said.
It should be reminded that the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov stated on May 23 about a sufficient minimum volume of weapons to start a counter -offensive. The Russian military has built defense lines in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine for several months. They may be waiting for breakthroughs in four directions, including in the Crimea.
