Russia’s push will run out of gas soon making its troops shift to a defensive posture, said Ukraine’s National Guard commander Oleksandr Pivnenko.
He admitted the frontline situation is challenging, but the enemy’s mounting losses will factor in and affect their offensive capabilities.
‘I believe that in 4-6 weeks they will no longer be able to conduct active assaults on multiple fronts and will inevitably adopt a defensive stance,’ said Pivnenko, arguing it can give Ukraine’s troops enough time to redeploy.
‘During this time, we need to organize our units and prepare for the shift.’
The military chief said Ukrainian troops will need to look for ways to adopt, which is not an easy task.
“You can’t change everything overnight; systemic changes require time,’ he added.
Pivnenko remains confident Ukraine will get the job done. ‘We need to advance continuously and keep thinking about the future. The most crucial aspects right now are preparation, enhancing training centers, acquiring weaponry, military equipment, and producing our own military technology, including drones, armored vehicles, and air defense systems,’ he concluded.”
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.
The 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade has received another batch of supplies as part of Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front military initiative. This time, the military received seven quad bikes and four mobile shower and bath units.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
