Frontline situation
Ukrainian Armed Forces are conducting a counteroffensive in southern Ukraine. The situation in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions remains highly dynamic. The enemy is attempting to hold captured positions and is deploying significant human and technical resources.
At the same time, Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained why Ukraine cannot currently reclaim its territories. In an interview wit BBC, he noted that Ukraine cannot currently focus on the deoccupation of its territories for two reasons: a shortage of personnel on the battlefield and a lack of weapons.
