Reznikov on the counteroffensive: Globally, we are ready
Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov assured that the Armed Forces are globally ready for a counteroffensive, and that everything will depend on the weather and the command’s decision.
The Defense Minister said this during a press conference at the Military Media Center.
– The preparations are coming to an end. In addition to weapons and equipment, our military must master it. We have received very modern systems, especially in terms of the “armored fist”. I would like to remind you that in addition to the tank coalition, which includes primarily Leopard 2 and Challenger, Leopard 1 will arrive a little later,” Rezikov said.
According to him, Ukraine is waiting for more Abrams tanks. “They won’t have time to take part in this counteroffensive, but our crews have already left for training”.
– In addition, we have a large number of armored vehicles of various types – Bradley, Marder, Stryker and CV 90 from Sweden,” the Defense Minister said.
The minister assured that the announced equipment has been prepared and partially delivered, and some of it is nearing completion.
– “In a global sense, we are ready, and then it’s up to the General Staff and the command. As soon as it is God’s will, the weather and the commanders’ decision, we will do it,” Reznikov summarized.
