President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he does not see russia's success in its operation in Kharkiv region and noted that when Ukraine has its reserves, it will be able to restore the situation. He said this in an interview with the BBC, according to a correspondent of UNN.
russia did indeed launch a breakthrough into Kharkiv. Their goal was to occupy a city of one and a half million people. It's a really big city, very big... But we stopped this offensive. Their offensive failed. About 20 thousand of their people were killed. It cost them these villages. Yes, villages, they are in this gray zone. The gray zone is not, because we have determined that it is gray, no. It was shelled and people were taken out in advance. I do not see any success in this operation. When we have enough reserves, we will restore the situation
Addendum
On July 15, 2024, Zelensky reportedthat there are 14 brigades in Ukraine that have been formed for a long time, but are not manned. They are not completely without weapons. Something has begun to arrive, artillery, etc., but it is still a long way to go to a positive result.
