According to the report, counteroffensive is possible, but it won't be as large-scale as the one in 2022, Hero of Ukraine and commander of the 20th K2 unmanned systems brigade, Kirill Veres, said in an interview with Radio Charter. Veres believes that a more realistic scenario would be a gradual pushback of the enemy, as well as the creation of a so-called kill zone, that is, a kill zone up to 15-20 kilometers deep.
Veres does not believe in a counteroffensive spanning hundreds of kilometers. But he does believe in gradually pushing back the enemy and expanding the zone of destruction. He said that it could be possible. He added that the main task for the Ukrainian Defense Forces now is to extend the damage deep into the enemy's defenses. However, this is difficult to achieve, as infantry units must be simultaneously supported along the entire line of contact. He said that they can't leave the infantry without support, even for a few months, to fully focus on deep-seated engagements. This creates additional risks at the front, Veres emphasized.
Additionally, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said recently that the purpose of these actions is to keep Russian forces under constant pressure, inflict steady losses, and prevent further advances. He said the approach is producing tangible results, noting that in January, Russian troops failed to achieve any significant operational breakthroughs in certain areas, and about a quarter of combat engagements involve Ukrainian units on the offensive.
