Recall
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated a gradual decrease in Russia's military potential, despite its mobilization resources and weapon stockpiles. Russia's aggression has escalated into a war of attrition, where Ukraine is strengthening its positions.
Ukraine has a vision of how to return all temporarily occupied territories. Kyiv, together with its partners, modeled military situations 10-15 years ahead and has an understanding of how to move and develop. This was stated by First Deputy Minister of Defense Ivan Havryliuk during the International Forum of the Expert Network of the International Crimea Platform.
