In a month of conducting counteroffensive actions, the Ukrainian military was able to return more territories than the Russian invaders captured in a year.
This was stated by the head of British intelligence, Richard Moore, quoted by CNN.
Moore said he was "optimistic" about Ukraine winning the war against Russia, whose forces have lost momentum on the battlefield.
He noted that Ukraine returned more territory in a month than the Russians were able to capture in a year. In his opinion, there is little chance that the Russian troops will resume the pace.
The head of British intelligence is sure that it is Ukraine that should "determine" the end of the war, because, according to him, most conflicts end with certain negotiations.
Counteroffensive of Ukraine
Some of Ukraine's allies have said that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces is advancing more slowly than expected.
The US National Security Council reported that the Russians had been erecting several lines of defense on the occupied territory of Ukraine for many months. Therefore, it slows down the advance of Ukrainian troops.
In addition, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhnyi said that he was annoyed by the comments about the "slow" counteroffensive, because every meter is given to our defenders with blood.
The commander of the Ground Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi also noted that all Ukrainians expect quick results from the counteroffensive, but this is impossible.
Let's add that last week Ukrainian defenders freed almost 18 square meters from the occupation. km of territories in the east and south.
