Now both the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the occupying army need to take an operational pause in order to be able to return to the active phase of hostilities, said military expert and colonel Oleg Zhdanov. During the broadcast on the TV channel "

“It is impossible to conduct offensive operations for a month in a row,” said a military analyst.. – Need to replenish reserves and make up for losses. There is no such replenishment. Now they are gathering people, but there is not enough equipment for them. But those troops that are in Ukraine are already exhausted. We beat them pretty badly in these offensive actions, so I, in principle, expected. Our command of the counterstrike shot down their offensive potential"

Currently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to the expert, are on the verge of a positional war. Before that, both armies need to regroup.

" “Whoever does this first will have the advantage at the end of this operational pause.”.

According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine can go on a counteroffensive either in mid-June or at the end. But this will happen subject to the receipt of the necessary amount of weapons in Ukraine..

“This is not about Lend-Lease, but about the assistance that was organized for us in March-April,” Zhdanov said..
