Zelenskyy is yet to approve final plans for counteroffensive – Ukraine security chief

Danilov said this on the air of the national telethon, Interfax-Ukraine reports.

"The final decision on the terms and directions of the counteroffensive will be made in the office of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the President of our country. Even if someone from respectable institutions in the West talks about it, believe me, there are no people who know our plans precisely. The final plans have not yet been approved," stated Oleksiy Danilov.

According to Danilov, the military leadership of Ukraine is currently exploring several options for a counteroffensive. "All these options are being considered, and decisions will be made based on the circumstances at the time. We don't need to wait or hesitate. We have already proven ourselves to be an invincible nation, and we will surely do it again. Thanks to our partners, in particular," Danilov added in his statement.

• On May 10, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed confidence that Ukraine has the necessary resources to regain territories captured by Russia in a full-scale war.
