The year will become a turning point: Reznikov told how the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces is moving

The Minister of Defense acknowledges that expectations of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces are too high, since success on the front depends on different circumstances and obstacles. The counter -offensive of the Armed Forces has not begun, and everything that is happening on the front is only a preparatory operation. This opinion was expressed by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov in an interview with the American TV channel Fox News, which was published on June 25.

According to the head of the Ministry of Defense, the counter -offensive of the Ukrainian military in 2023 promises to be successful. But its results can be evaluated when the Armed Forces will conduct military operations in full force. Now, according to Reznikov, the preparatory stage continues on the front. "The current maneuvers that have been ongoing for the third week are preparatory operations.

It should be acknowledged that the Russians have built very strong defensive lines," the Defense Minister said. In conversation with journalists, he also emphasized that this year will be a turning point in the Russian-Ukrainian war and will bring the Armed Forces a step to the victory. However, Alexei Reznikov also spoke with the media that the expectations of the result from the counter -offensive conducted by the Armed Forces were exaggerated.

According to him, during the fighting, much depends on different circumstances and different obstacles. We will remind, on June 23 in GUR told about plans of the Armed Forces for the coming months. The deputy chief of GUR noted that the enemy would probably try to keep the captured territories on the one hand and to move to the borders of Lugansk and Donetsk regions.
