(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Despite the decrease in the intensity of hostilities on the part of the enemy, the situation remains difficult, so Ukraine must brace for more attacks.
This was stated by Deputy Minister of Defense Anna Maliar, who spoke at the Ukrainian telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
'If we talk about the situation at the front in general, first of all, the front is huge, it's 1,800 kilometers wide. As of now, the intensity of the enemy's offensive operations has been reduced, but in reality they are preparing to continue these actions. The Russian army is mobilizing its forces and personnel,' Maliar said.

She noted that Russian troops have a problem with this, so they are turning to other countries and are also unfolding covert mobilization.
'But on the other hand, the bad news is that because they are doing it, it means they will continue the offensive. That is, our situation, despite the fact that we remain strong, is difficult, requiring some time and some effort from all of us. And we must keep this in mind,' said the deputy defense minister.
