Operational pause is due to Russia’s anticipation of Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive – Ukrainian Armed Forces Captain Prozapas

He expressed this opinion on Espreso.

“The current operational lull on the front is a result of the Russians anticipating our counteroffensive. Additionally, the Russians have found themselves in an operational deadlock as their hopes for offensive actions along the entire front line in the Donetsk region have been unsuccessful. Despite their pressing efforts and attempts to penetrate our operational space throughout the winter, the Defense Forces have effectively thwarted the enemy's plans,” as explained by Prozapas.

The captain of the Armed Forces emphasized that the Russians will not compel Ukraine to engage in negotiations through their strategy of using missile strikes on civilian infrastructure. This approach did not work, as Ukraine has significantly bolstered its air defense capabilities. And the Russians have been unable to enhance their missile production capabilities.

• On May 27, the initial contingent of 400 Ukrainian soldiers commenced training on American Abrams tanks in Germany.

• Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation into Ukraine, the defense forces have neutralized a total of 206,600 Russian soldiers.
