“According to our intelligence, Russia is preparing for new offensives in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions,” Zelenskyy said last week.
Putin wants to negotiate territory from a stronger position.
So, our job — all of us — is defense in the broadest sense of the word,” he added.
Ukraine has lost more than 46,000 troops and over 380,000 have been wounded, Zelenskyy said in February.
In March, Kyiv managed to improve the survival rate of Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian Army Chief Commander General Oleksandr Syrskyi said in a statement on Monday.
And this is giving positive results — this month we recorded a decrease in losses compared to the previous ones," Syrskyi said.
Putin, though, thinks his troops "will finish" the Ukrainian army, as the Kremlin leader said last week. »
