Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy walks under a camouflage net in a trench as he visits the war-hit Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine,
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Zelensky made the call while delivering his speech at Kyiv on Saturday night.
Zelensky maintained that the time had come for them to launch a fightback. He urged Ukrainians to drive out evil from the country.
“You need to go out and drive this evil out of our cities,” he said. This is coming when the United States, US, officials are discussing with Poland over the possibility of providing Ukraine with a number of MiG fighter jets.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has entered its 11th day, with some experts suggesting the invasion may have stalled in places – despite President Vladimir Putin’s insistence on Saturday that the operation is “going to plan.”
While fighting has continued in many parts of the country, Moscow’s forces have only captured one major Ukrainian city, Kherson – though it has made other key advances, such as seizing the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on Friday.
Prior to the invasion, it was assumed the army had undergone a radical re-haul, reorganizing itself into so-called “Battalion Tactical Groups”. These units of 800 to 1,000 men would operate in close coordination with tanks, drones, and multiple-launch rocket systems to deliver a multi-faceted punch to the enemy.
But it hasn’t worked out like that.
Russian commanders, especially in the north, have manifestly failed to make full use of this modern kind of warfare.
Their vehicles have also suffered mechanical breakdowns and they appear to have underestimated the strength of Ukrainian resistance, losing large numbers of men and equipment.
