Aleksey Arestovich, the adviser to the head of the President's Office, said that the Ukrainian troops launched a counter-offensive, and the invaders decided to concentrate their forces on the capture of Mariupol.
Our troops launched a small tactical but counter-offensive in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions and continue it in the Kyiv and Kherson regions
Aleksey Arestovich
According to him, the occupiers are trying to surround the Ukrainian troops in the JFO zone, capture Mariupol and keep the defense in the Kherson region.
It means the following thing. This gives us hope in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and Kharkiv regions that we will get rid of the enemy here and beat him out. Secondly, this may mean potential and sharp complication of the situation in the area of Mariupol and the JFO zone
Aleksey Arestovich
The adviser added that the next “several weeks will be uneven”, and one should be prepared for news of the successes of the Ukrainian army, and for disturbing news about the aggravation of the situation in the east and south of the country.
Earlier, Adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Vadym Denisenko noted that the invaders are now “put everything they have on Mariupol and Izyum as two key points for gaining control over Donbass.”
