Kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia lacks the strength to conduct large-scale operations on the front, in light of the heavy losses its forces have suffered after more than three and a half years of war. "Russia prepared offensive operations along four main axes this year: Sumy, Novopavlivka, Pokrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia," Zelenskyy said on X.
According to Qatar News Agency, Zelenskyy elaborated that the Sumy operation has already failed, with Russia suffering heavy losses, particularly in manpower. Consequently, Russian forces have been redeployed to other fronts. He noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces inflicted even greater losses on Russian troops in these new positions.
