The attackers halted several dozen kilometers from the capital in a triumph for the Ukrainian army. They withdrew from the area at the end of March and the beginning of April.
After driving the Russians from the Kharkiv area in the northeast in September and Kherson in the south last month, the general said one of his current challenges was “to hold this (front)line,” which runs from south to east, “and not lose any further land.”
The Russians have been bombarding Zaluzhny’s energy infrastructure since October as a result of a string of embarrassing defeats on the battlefield because “they need time to accumulate supplies” for an extensive attack in the upcoming months.
“I am not an energy specialist but the destruction of electrical infrastructure by missile and drone strikes” it appears we are on the brink.”
The waves of attacks on the power grid that have already occurred have resulted in widespread power disruptions that have left millions of Ukrainians in the icy cold and dark of winter.
The general added, “I am confident that I can defeat this adversary. But I require supplies.
“I need 500 Howitzers, 600-700 infantry fighting vehicles, and 300 tanks.”
