However, Syrskyi noted that at the moment it is only a partial success and “that is how it should be perceived”
– We are fighting with less resources than the enemy. At the same time, we manage to destroy his plans. All thanks to our fighters, who are fighting the aggressor, overcoming the highest limit of human capabilities, – the message says.
