Ukraine’s military captain reveals where fate of war is decided

He said this on the air of the Espreso TV channel.

"I believe that the fate of the war is not decided in the Donetsk sector. The key battle may be on the southern front - Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, possibly the western part of Donetsk region. The main efforts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are concentrated there. Fierce fighting has been going on there for more than 2 months, and we have had the greatest interim success there. We are gnawing through the Russian defense lines, trying to find the enemy's weaknesses. Although we can say that they have already been found," Prozapas stressed.

The Ukrainian military captain also added that the war has become a resource battle.

"We have to crush and grind the aggressor's military machine. The Ukrainian Armed Forces already have enough experience, but we should not forget that the Russian army still has serious resources," Prozapas said.

• On July 31, the Ministry of Defense noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had advanced by another 12.6 square kilometers in the south and by 2 square kilometers in the Bakhmut sector over the week.

• Russia's losses in the full-scale war against Ukraine have reached 247,230 soldiers. Russian forces are trying to regain their lost ground in Donetsk region, namely in the Bakhmut and Shakhtarsk directions.
