Details

They (Russian troops - ed.) are in a hurry. They started their offensive in early October. And since the beginning of October, there have been more active hostilities in all directions. Now they have short-term, medium-term and long-term plans. But those plans are constantly being postponed, because they forgot to put a note in those plans that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are standing against them, which, of course, will not allow them to do so
