The counteroffensive

of the Armed Forces 

will not begin until Ukraine fulfills the task of strategic defense.

Yes, Ukrainian defenders must stop the advance of the Russian army, eliminate as many Russians and their equipment as possible.

Military expert, Lieutenant General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ihor Romanenko told about this on the air of the telethon.

The expert emphasized: it is also very important that the occupiers go on the defensive.

However, "these tasks have not yet been completed," noted Romanenko.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is not only focusing on the fulfillment of these tasks, but also forming strategic reserves for the preparation and implementation of counteroffensive actions.

"On this occasion, they started to concentrate some troops in the Zaporizhzhia direction. We see that some actions have intensified there, explosions in the area of ​​Melitopol, in the area of ​​Rostov-on-Don. And this is an important symptom," he said.

In the future counteroffensive, the general noted, there may be several directions "in order to disperse the enemy's efforts."

The reserves for the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces should consist of at least three corps of 20,000 soldiers with appropriate equipment and trained crews.

"This is very difficult work, and it is happening," replied General Romanenko.

It will be recalled that the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy

 Reznikov, said that preparations for the counteroffensive,

which should begin in April-May, are now underway.

He is convinced that Ukrainian defenders will continue to liberate the occupied territories, as was the case in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson regions.
