The Ukrainian Armed Forces have accumulated enough weapons to begin a counteroffensive – Budanov

However, significant reserves are required to continue the operation

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have accumulated enough weapons to begin a counteroffensive.

This was reported by the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence, Kyrylo Budanov.

"Many civilians are still under russian occupation, and we can no longer afford to lose time. We already have a minimum of weapons and other equipment. All I can say is that it will begin soon," emphasised the head of military intelligence.

At the same time, Budanov admitted that "significant reserves are needed to continue the operation." In his opinion, the G7 summit will provide an opportunity to control the acceleration of the process of providing weapons by Ukraine's partners.
