The Russian military has launched an offensive, “attacks are already taking place from several directions,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Western media. According to RBC, the Ukrainian leader did not specify what areas he was talking about, but the day before he claimed that the most difficult situation was developing in the area of Bakhmut (Artemovsk) and Vugledar.
Zelensky also expressed confidence that Ukrainian forces would be able to resist “until they themselves launch a counteroffensive,” but stressed that Kiev needed more Western weapons and urged the West to increase military aid.
Recall, on February 15, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the troops broke through the defenses of the Ukrainian forces in the LPR, and they retreated to a distance of up to three kilometers from their previously occupied positions. Two days before, the department claimed that the forces of the Central Military District, supported by tanks, were conducting an active offensive in the combat zone, “broke the enemy’s resistance and advanced several kilometers deep into his echeloned defense.”
