Russia, as part of its new offensive on the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, aims to deploy its accumulated resources, specifically referring to manpower and drones, states Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the head of the Ukrainian President's Office, in a comment to the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel.
Podolyak, responding to Russia's new offensive, emphasized that Moscow does not seek any ceasefire with Ukraine. Almost everything the aggressor country has is being invested in the war. In particular, it is "buying" soldiers and sending them to fight.
According to the advisor to the head of the President's Office, people who earn between 2,500 to 10,000 dollars from killings will not be able to return to their homes, as they will never receive such wages there again.
"It is in their interest to continue the war. Therefore, I do not doubt that Russia will use this accumulated resource. Again, what resource? It's clear that the level of militarization, like the one at the start of the invasion, with armored vehicles, aviation, and multiple launch rocket systems, is no longer available in such quantities. But they have enough manpower and appropriate tools. They have plenty of drones," he added.
Podolyak believes that Russia will continue the escalation and accumulate forces and resources in certain directions. Russia will also continue to use Belarus as a springboard.
Russia's offensive
Earlier, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, stated that Russia had launched a new offensive on the Kharkiv and Sumy regions.
According to him, for nearly a week, Ukraine has been recording a nearly twofold increase in the number of offensive actions by Russia.
The Commander-in-Chief noted that Russia aims to create a buffer zone on the territory of the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions.
