So far, the enemy has slowed down the pace of advancement deep into the territory of our country but does not leave plans for an offensive operation, the Deputy Defense Minister noted.

Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar said that the quantitative advantage of the enemy is offset by the qualitative advantage of the Ukrainian army.

She said this on the air of the informational telethon.

If we analyze the situation along the front as a whole, then the enemy has slowed down the pace of advancement deep into the territory but does not leave plans for an offensive operation. Therefore, we must not relax, we must put the squeeze on the enemy and be a powerful rear of our army

She said that a circular defense of Mariupol is now underway and that the enemy is being held back in every possible way from advancing in the southeastern operational district.

Today, everyone is still involved in containing the enemy on the outskirts of Kyiv. That is, in all areas where, according to various sources, advancement can be carried out in-depth, all forces are used to contain the enemy. And, including in the Belarusian direction

According to her, the Belarusian and Russian militants are demoralized and "think very hard about not participating in this shameful barbaric war."

Their quantitative advantage is offset by our qualitative advantage
