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

Ukrainian Armed Forces Captain Valery Prozapas says that the operational pause along the entire front line is linked to Russia’s anticipation of a counteroffensive

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.
