Since June 2023, Kyiv has been waging a counter-offensive, while at the same time the Russian side points to the absence of any results from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. November 8, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky statedthat Kyiv intends to continue the counter-offensive, despite the difficulties and the shift of Western attention to the situation in the Middle East. He promised to “show results this year.”
In the Kremlin remindedthat the previous promises of the Ukrainian authorities have no longer come true. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that it is time for the Ukrainian side to understand that it will not be able to defeat Russia on the battlefield. Only after this can the prerequisites arise for resolving the situation through “political and diplomatic means.”
