but have you been disappointed that it hasn t made greater gains? our approach is very simple. we have to save lives of our people, not to waste them, as the russians do with their soldiers. and for us, the value of life is number one in our country and our culture. that s why we have to adjust to the situation on the ground in terms of the minds, in terms of the fortifications, to adjust, adapt our tactics and our equipment. so for us, it s not a matter of time, this counter offensive. it s a matter of success. every day, step by step, we are liberating our territories. sometimes 100 metres, sometimes one kilometre. but it s a steady process, and we will keep it coming as long as it s necessary. we have to keep in mind that now, after one and a half years of this war, ukraine is on the offensive and russia is in defense.
