The difficulties Ukrainian forces face in the counteroffensive lie in the lack of sufficient ammunition and air defense systems, as President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy says in an interview with Sky TG24.
"Our counteroffensive continues, step by step we are doing everything to push back the enemy. The difficulties are minefields, insufficient number of ammunition, and anti-aircraft systems," notes the head of the state.
He clarifies that currently, air defense means play an important role not only in the offensive but also in protecting Ukrainians from Russian attacks.
"Winter is another challenge for our population and the Ukrainian military. We must go through it without losing the initiative on the battlefield," added Zelenskyy.
