As Hanna Maliar stated, another great achievement of Ukraine’s Defense Forces is the lack of enemy advance despite intensified shelling.
"Wherever the enemy is trying to advance, in four directions in the east - Lyman, Kupiansk, Avdiivka, and Marinka, they fail. What does it mean? This means that our guys are in such a powerful defense that even intensified shelling that we record today, the increase in the use of aviation, gives the enemy nothing," Ukraine’s Defense official stated.
She also said, that it takes patience and understanding that the war between strong adversaries cannot be short. A powerful duel is now underway.
"All these weeks that you and I have been observing are not just a duel, it can be referred to as an act of attrition. Our Armed Forces are destroying the enemy’s offensive and defensive potential, that is, to make it more difficult for them to both attack and defend. And another important aspect is that we need to exhaust the enemy – this is a normal thing," Hanna Maliar emphasized.
