However, the Defense Forces are ready for any scenario, Gumenyuk assures.. The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to carefully monitor the tactics of the enemy. First of all, because the Russians are constantly changing it, maneuvering with available resources.

Recall that Russian President Vladimir Putin set his military a new deadline for the complete occupation of Donbass - they must do this before March. However, analysts at the US Institute for the Study of War believe that the Russian leader overestimated the capabilities of his army.. Moreover, they predict that the second big offensive against Ukraine, which the Russian Federation is now preparing, will end by April and will not be successful..

Against the background of information that the Russian Federation could launch a new offensive as early as next month, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov said that the way it was on February 24 will no longer be. He explained that over the past year, Ukraine has changed militarily, and, no less important, the situation with the supply of weapons to us from the allies.. At the same time, Danilov does not rule out that the Kremlin may decide on a new big offensive in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions..
