A year and a half

To spread: the potential of the Defense Forces of Ukraine is still insufficient for conducting large -scale contradictory operations, including in the Donbass, the Ukrainian General explained. The main task now is to stop the offensive of Russian troops, which lasts from the end of 2023.

On the air of Radio NV, the former deputy head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Lieutenant-General Igor Romanenko stated that since 2023 the Ukrainian army has not been able to stop the promotion of enemy troops. Therefore, he said, because of this, the likelihood of the Armed Forces is low. "God forbid that allies provide techniques, ammunition, we have solved mobilization issues and raised the potential to stop the promotion of Russian troops, which they started in late 2023.

We still cannot do it. Because of this potential," Romanenko said. The officer also commented on the stroke of defense forces on the rear facilities in Russia. According to Romanenko, such blows are not enough to break the situation on the ground and return the initiative. "What is increasing our tools and the task of strokes is increasing both in the Russian Federation and on the collision line, it is really good.

But the potential and the level of opportunity for us is not enough for us to significantly change the situation and return the initiative and on land," the general said. We will remind, according to the information of the Institute of War Study (ISW), during the day on September 11 the Russian troops advanced in Donetsk region near the cities of Konstantinovka and Druzhkivka.
