"The Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to liberate the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine without sufficient ammunition. This is obvious. With a lack of ammunition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces can only hold the line along the entire front line. In addition, in this scenario, we must understand that we will have to give up some positions in certain areas," Kovalenko explained.
The expert noted that this situation will persist until Ukraine’s partners start supplying the necessary amount of ammunition.
"We are not facing critical territorial losses, but neither are we expanding the liberated territories. It's crucial to acknowledge this reality. This status quo will persist on the battlefield until our partners replenish the necessary resources required for victory and the liberation of all territories," he added.
