Mykola Malomuzh, Ukrainian general and head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service (2005-2010), says that Russian troops have deployed almost all their resources, but cannot advance

He said this on Espreso TV. 

“The Ukrainian Armed Forces have a strategic initiative, which is related to the fact that the enemy is losing its main professional units. These are Wagner PMC fighters, airborne troops, air assault brigades and marines. We have the prospect of destroying them on the battlefield. To do this, we have reserves, trained special forces, equipment, and weapons that we receive every day,” Malomuzh said.

According to the general, Ukraine has the prospect of rearming special forces, rapid response brigades and breakthrough brigades, which makes it possible to prepare for large-scale offensive operations.

“The number one task is to knock out the enemy, destroy enemy reserves and advanced units that are performing an aggressive task on our territory. The culminating moment has come when the Russian forces have thrown everything they have, but cannot advance,” added Malomuzh.

  • On March 27, the German Ministry of Defense reported that 18 Leopard 2 A6 heavy battle tanks, as well as ammunition and spare parts for them, had arrived in Ukraine.

  • On January 25, Germany approved the delivery of 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and allowed re-export by other countries.

  • On March 8, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius promised that by the end of the month Ukraine would receive 18 Leopard 2A6 tanks from Germany and three from Portugal. The A6 is one of the most modern modifications of the German Leopard 2 main battle tank.

  • Ukraine received three Leopard 2A6 heavy battle tanks from Portugal.
