The USA will do everything possible to help Ukraine liberate the temporarily occupied territory before winter.
This was announced at the briefing by the representative of the Pentagon, Brigadier General Pat Ryder.
According to him, the Russians continue to entrench themselves in Kherson, and despite Russiaʼs statement about the deportation of civilians from the right bank of the Dnipro River, the United States does not see the removal of a large number of local residents.
“As winter approaches, aspects such as terrain, mud, snow and ice will pose additional challenges. Therefore, Ukraine is conducting a counteroffensive to take advantage of time," the general noted.
He emphasized that the U.S. will focus on supporting Ukraine before winter so that it has the best chance to liberate the territory.
- The head of Ukrainian intelligence Kyrylo Budanov informed about the onset of a "decisive period" of the Russian-Ukrainian war. At the same time, the president adds that the news from the front has decreased, but the intensity of the fighting has not decreased.
