The head of the Kiev Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Pavlyuk, allowed an early restoration of car traffic along the M-06 highway in the Kyiv-Zhytomyr section in light of the liberation of a number of settlements adjacent to it.

According to him, Ukrainian troops constantly carry out successful counteroffensives in all directions, but noted that the return of civilians to the liberated areas should be preceded by clearing and demining the territory..

“A lot of settlements have been liberated, but it will be possible to talk about this only when we have completely cleared, we create conditions that at least mortar units will not fire, then we will carry out all the cleaning and demining procedures, and people will be able to enter their settlements..

At the same time, he stressed that the Russian occupation troops are regrouping, some units are being withdrawn from Ukraine, probably to restore combat capability, but a fairly powerful group of invaders remains in place, which holds back the Ukrainian troops..

" In recent days, we have realized how powerful and huge the group is in the Kiev direction.. While she was disguised (…), she was not so visible. Now we understand the power we're facing. But this force has lost enough combat capability (...), so most of the units are withdrawn to restore combat capability,"
