If you don't have a strong reserve to replace a strong brigade, then the next day you won't have any city: Zelensky on rotation at the front

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that there are rotations in different areas and that it should not be generalized that there are none at all. However, the Ukrainian army has a "powerful fist" - strong and professional brigades that need longer rotations, but for this to happen, a powerful reserve is needed. Zelensky said this during a telethon, UNN reports.

Details

I would not generalize this issue. There is rotation in different directions. For example, in the Kharkiv direction, which is why they stood so firmly, there were rotational steps. I agree that the improvement of rotations and vacations is also included in this legislation. There is a powerful fist in our army. Let's be open and frank. There are strong, brave, professional brigades with combat experience. Yes, they need more time to rest, they need longer rotations. When we talk about long rotations, we discuss it with the General Staff, with the entire command. We look at the frontline and see where the breakthroughs have been made

He noted that the command is looking at which brigades have never had breakthroughs on the front line, but there are brigades that have.

There are those with one combat experience and spirit, and there are others. But everyone gets tired. And when you want to, and you have a strategic direction, and you really need to let the guys go, they need to rest, we need the same number of guys with the same experience. If your reserves are not that strong, you will not be able to let guys go. Otherwise, you will not have a city tomorrow. It will be under Russian occupation. That's why reserves need to be built up

Recall

Currently, the Ukrainian Defense Forces do not have enough ammunition to launch a counteroffensive. There is only enough ammunition for defense.
