"Russia is not abandoning its strategic goal and, unfortunately, we will have to live with it. The fact that they are not succeeding is obvious, as this has been going on for almost 11 years now. There is progress, but the pace is not what they set out to achieve. They have problems, we have problems, but we should not panic - everything is still more or less under control," Budanov said.
Addendum
Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky said that Russia is seeking to push Ukrainian forces beyond the eastern and southern regions. The enemy's ultimate goal remains the capture of all of Ukraine.
