Neither we nor the Russian side has enough power to remove the situation on its side. The front is effectively at a standstill.
Therefore, there are tactical battles on both sides, Oleksiy Arestovich, advisor to the head of the presidential office, said in his briefing.
He stressed that the Ukrainian military is still better at strikes.
Arestovich also added that although Russia is overturning its reserves in Ukraine, there is "unfortunate trouble" with them.
In addition, the adviser to the head of the OP said that repression has begun among the Russian military leadership - the FSB is looking for those responsible for the failure of the war with Ukraine, generals and colonels are subjected to humiliating checks and accused of cowardice.
"The FSB has begun looking for the guilty in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces and other formations, in the Rosgvardia, for example. Hundreds and dozens of servicemen are subjected to humiliating inspections. They are accused of refusal to fight, weakness of character, and cowardice. Even generals and senior officers fall under attack," he said.
Arestovich gave the example of how one of the representatives of the information-psychological services of the Russian Federation was accused of "badly satisfying the Kherson People's Republic."
The already low morale of the Russian army will be even lower, Arestovich predicted, given the losses of the Russian Armed Forces and pressure from the FSB.
As a reminder, since the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has lost about 14,700 troops. The occupiers lost 476 tanks and 1,487 armored fighting vehicles.
