Zelensky lets Putin know: „generals in good spirits”
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, counterattacks are under way in the war against Russia. However, Selenski held back with details on Saturday. „Counter-offensives and defensive actions are taking place in Ukraine, but I will not say what phase they are in,” he said in Kiev. The generals are in good spirits. „Tell that to Putin,” he added.
Ukraine has for months announced a large-scale counter-offensive to retake Russian-held areas in the south and east of the country. Since the beginning of the week, Russia has said that the offensive has begun and has so far failed. This was recently said by President Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said there would be no communications until there was clarity on the battlefield.
When asked for a comment on Putin’s comments on Friday, Zelensky shrugged and raised an eyebrow. For the most part, information on the course of the war cannot be independently verified. Putin had stated that the deployment of the strategic reserve would speak for the start of the counteroffensive. So far, however, the Ukrainian soldiers have had no success. The Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday that Ukrainian soldiers had unsuccessfully tried to advance in the Donetsk and Zaporizhia regions and in the area around Bakhmut in the east.
