Ukrainian Ambassador to London Vadym Prystaiko in an interview with the tabloid Daily Express called the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces “terrible”.
According to him, at present, the Kiev authorities from the very beginning of the special operation do not disclose the true extent of the losses, but this is a “terrible figure”.
At the same time, Prystaiko said the Ukrainian authorities intended to continue the conflict “to the last of us”. He also said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to mobilize one million people to form Ukrainian “offensive guard” brigades.
Earlier in Ukraine and in the West it was repeatedly said that the priority direction of the Ukrainian offensive would be the Zaporizhzhia region. The goal of the offensive is to reach the coast of the Sea of Azov in order to cut the land corridor to Crimea.
