He also emphasized that there will be a response to every Russian attack.
The pressure in the world on Russia is decreasing. We see changes in the sanctions policy. Therefore, unlike everyone or many in the world, Ukraine has its own sanctions — long-range capabilities. The Russians must feel the pressure. If Ukraine does not respond to their strikes, then Russia will simply continue the war and not even think about pauses.
According to him, Russia's plans are clear, but, he emphasized, "we are stronger now than in winter."
Russia continues the second phase of its winter operation to strike critical infrastructure. The targets for this phase are water supplies, reservoirs, dams, logistics, etc.
