Everyone Will See’: Ukraine Defence Min Reznikov Says ‘Main Event’ in War Yet to Come
Ukrainian defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that the recent modest gains in Russian-controlled areas in southern Ukraine are a mere ‘preview’ of a much bigger push, according to a report by the Financial Times. He told the news outlet that the “main event” of the Kyiv’s planned counteroffensive is yet to come. “When it happens, you will all see it . . . Everyone will see everything,” Reznikov was quoted as saying by the Financial Times. The defence minister brushed aside doubts cast by media regarding the slow charge of Ukraine’s spring-summer counteroffensive to reclaim areas taken by Russian in the southern, eastern and southeastern belt.
