At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to prevent this and destroy the invaders during their movement. “But we are trying to keep fire control over the transport routes in such a way that they cannot use them, even to retreat to such a large distance. That is, we track their progress, try to stop their movement, stop not only the columns of equipment and manpower on forward and retreat,” Gumenyuk said.

Gumenyuk stressed that a “powerful preparatory stage” is now underway, at which the Armed Forces of Ukraine are destroying the capacities of the Russian troops: warehouses, accumulations of equipment, places of deployment of personnel.
