However, Chernyak also said that Russia has enough resources to continue the war in 2023 and 2024.
He said that the occupiers are still trying to advance towards the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. Meanwhile, intelligence obtained allows the Armed Forces of Ukraine to take effective counter-measures and inflict maximum losses on the Russian army, he said.
In mid-March, the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Russian offensive on the Donetsk section of the front was slowing. The report also said that the enemy had lost its offensive potential.
