President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced that his country Ukraine controls 74 settlements on the territory of Russia.
"This is an offensive, part of the battles, but it is not of such a scale that there is talk of capitulation of one of the two sides. This offensive is indicative - a direct advance on Russia's internationally recognized borders. From a military point of view, this means that the line of combat contact has been stretched, which was in the order of 800-880 km and is now almost around 1000-1200. The Russian military leadership must allocate forces and means to cover those directions that have not been attacked so far".
This was commented by the international secretary of "There is such a people" Dimitar Gardev in "The Day ON AIR".
According to him, the Ukrainian army has shown that it is capable of such a full-scale offensive.
"We are not talking about returning to the borders, but about stopping the advance. This offensive was prepared very well, for months," Gardev analyzed.
"The offensive last summer in the direction of Mariupol was much larger, but it did not succeed because the Russian defense was meticulously prepared. The most important thing is the surprise. In the third year of the war, both countries, Russia and Ukraine, are the countries with the most and most combat experience on the planet. The massive use of drones has shown that Ukraine has an advantage in their use. It was these drones that destroyed the entire Lipetsk airport," the guest recalled to Bulgaria ON AIR.
Each offensive has its own possibilities - both as a course of hostilities and as ammunition, explained Gardev.
"To plug this breach, Russia cannot use its regular army. The positions of the Ukrainian side become much more difficult in the future negotiations", added the international secretary of ITN.
"The big question is whether a full-scale war with "Hezbollah" will start. "Hamas" is another organization. They have not always been good with Iran. "Hezbollah" is many times stronger than "Hamas". She participated in the political life of Lebanon. This conflict is no surprise. The big danger is using some form of tactical nuclear weapon, which no one is talking about right now. The trials in the US are important for the conflicts," Gardev believes.
Regarding the US elections, he emphasized that the battle will be in front of the media and the debates will tip the scales.
"Europe must pay attention to its own military potential,", Gardev insisted.
