Zelensky makes statement on Ukrainian counter-offensive
Ukraine is still waiting for the counter-offensive equipment promised by the West.
This was reported by BBC News quoting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
According to journalists, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine needs more time to launch a counteroffensive against Russia. The reason why more time is needed is because the Ukrainian military is still some elements of the promised Western aid.
Zelensky said the combat brigades were already ready. But if they go on the offensive right now, the casualties would be too great.
With what we have, we can go ahead and be successful, but we will lose a lot of people. I think that's unacceptable. So we need to wait. We need some more time.
In addition, according to journalists, Ukrainian authorities have tried to reduce expectations of a breakthrough, both publicly and in private conversations.
