Ukrainian troops did not stop the advance for a single day, noted the observer.

The latest packages of military aid from Ukraine’s international partners will make it possible to fully staff the assault battalion tactical group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and more than one.

“That’s why be patient and watch. The Armed Forces move continents and worlds,” noted military and political observer Oleksandr Kovalenko.

According to him, at the moment the Ukrainian troops are preparing for the active phase of the counteroffensive, which has not stopped for a single day, just not everyone perceives it correctly:

“After all, a counteroffensive is not only an action, but also a phase of preparation, formation of conditions. Destruction of warehouses with ammunition and PMM, destruction of accumulations of equipment and repair bases, KP, PU, ​​headquarters, air defense bases, which took off in Makiivka to the air of BTGr – everything is that the counteroffensive does not stop for a single day.”

When all the conditions are created, the Armed Forces will move to the active offensive phase, Kovalenko added:

“According to various factors, it usually takes several months from the moment of the previous breakthrough. The current situation fully corresponds to this phase – preparation. In any case, it is better for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to know in which direction and when exactly to move from phase of creating conditions before the active phase.
