Ukraine may reverse course of hostilities in 2024, but under two key conditions — war veteran Dykyi

He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV

"We (Ukraine - ed.) will have a window of opportunity at the front in 1-1.5 months. However, we had two critical problems at the front - a munitions and personnel shortage. Our military severely lacked large-caliber ammunition. This problem has almost been solved, as the ammo has already been sent to the front. And this can already be seen directly at the front. The artillery is back to work and revived," said Dykyi.

According to Dykyi, the Defense Forces are doing the impossible in the face of limited resources, holding back the aggressor.

"The second key problem is the shortage of personnel in the Armed Forces. Unfortunately, this problem has not gone away. General Pavliuk, the Commander of the Land Forces, is right when he says that we have the ability and need to move to offensive actions. However, the army is fighting with those who have already joined the ranks of the Armed Forces. Today, our Defense Forces, given the resources available, are doing the impossible. They are holding back the enemy's superior forces. We are not doing enough in the rear. It's up to us to replenish the Armed Forces personnel," he added.
