The expected full-scale offensive of the russians with the use of tanks and artillery may yet occur. This was stated by Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov in an interview with Forbes.
"We have not yet seen a real offensive, with the use of tanks and artillery. But they are demonstrating potential in the south, and the offensive expected by all can still happen", - the minister said.
Also, according to Oleksii Reznikov, the supply of weapons by the West and the supply chains for their maintenance are designed for a long war.
"Weaken russia so that it does not pose a threat to NATO allies. Our partners understand that this is not a one-day process. We are discussing not only specific weapons and military equipment, but also its maintenance, repair and production of spare parts and ammunition. Everyone understands that the war will continue for quite a long time", - the minister said.
Answering a question about the current situation at the front, Oleksii Reznikov described it as follows:
"Now there is a process of accumulation of resources on both sides. Each side is ready to take the initiative, and we are waiting. We are ready for the russian offensive and are preparing a counteroffensive. Our key goal in this war is to win by liberating all temporarily occupied territories, freeing our people and bringing them to justice before an international tribunal".
