We understand threats and prepare for them - Oleksiy Danilov on a possible new Russian offensive

He said this during a TV marathon.

It is known that 300,000 people have been summoned in Russia as part of the mobilization. 150 have already been sent to the front, and another 150 are being trained at various grounds in Russia and Belarus.

"We understand the threats and challenges facing our country. We are preparing for this very hard," he emphasized.

Every day, the President communicates with his foreign colleagues on military assistance. The work within our country is also ongoing, the NSDC Secretary said.

"This is a challenge for us, but we will withstand it, because, on February 24, 2022, it was much more difficult. Then we were face to face with the aggressor country. They did not believe in our victory and our ability to withstand the attack. Now the situation is completely different. Every week there is news from different parts of the world about helping Ukraine," Danilov added.

• Earlier, Bloomberg publication wrote that despite the losses of the Russian army in the war with Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning a new offensive that could begin in February or March.

• Danilov said that the Russian forces are preparing for a new wave of an offensive in Ukraine by February 24 and are reconnoitering Ukraine's defense capabilities.
