However, the Russians managed to bring a huge amount of equipment and personnel there, including newly conscripted, and convicts, and Kadyrovites, and regular troops, and part of the paratroopers who were transferred from the Kherson front. Therefore, advancing is very difficult. A quick operation should not be expected.

But I am sure that in the near future, the General Staff will please us with good news."

He believes that at the end of winter, Ukraine's Armed Forces will be able to reach the "border" of the oblast [with Russia] as it was before 24 February.
