Fighting with Russian forces becomes more difficult, but it is possible to break through their defense – serviceman Yarosh

Dmytro Yarosh, a public and political figure, soldier, former leader and founder of the Right Sector organization, and commander of Ukrainian Volunteer Army, said this in his first interview since the beginning of the full-scale war on 1+1 TV channel.

“The enemy should not be underestimated. I've never been skeptical of Russians, especially since there are thousands of ethnic Ukrainians fighting among Russians, and a Ukrainian is a good warrior. Russians are learning all the time; war teaches anyone quickly. It is becoming more difficult to fight with Russians, but God is with us. We are receiving the latest Western models of equipment and weapons, a certain amount of ammunition, although there is never enough ammunition in a war,” Yarosh emphasized.

According to the soldier, Ukrainian defenders will be able to defeat the enemy.

“We see their defense line, their minefields. We see how the enemy is rolling up defensive lines in concrete. And we understand what we need to do. Through concentrated strikes on the invading Russian forces' rear, logistics, command posts, artillery, and electronic warfare, we can actually break through the enemy's defense lines and achieve certain objectives,” Yarosh emphasized.

• On May 23, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said at a daily briefing that the United States does not encourage Ukraine to attack Russian territory, but reminds us that Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine chooses how to fight.

• The founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that 20,000 Russian mercenaries were killed in the battle for Bakhmut.
