- Kovalenko's post reads.

Additionally

Russian politician Boris Nadezhdin, who opposed Russia's war in Ukraine and attempted to run in the 2024 presidential election, was convicted for displaying "extremist symbols."

At the same time, military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko in an exclusive comment to UNN stated that Russia could mobilize 500-600 thousand people for defense, not offense. Meanwhile, Ukraine should use the window of opportunity in August-October to improve positions on the front.
