Moscow's conquest of the Luhansk area is the last win for Russia on Ukrainian soil said an adviser to Ukraine's president's office.
This is the last victory for Russia on Ukrainian territory,” Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said in a video posted online. “These were medium-sized cities. And this took from 4th April until 4th July — that’s 90 days.”
Arestovych said that, in addition to the war for Donetsk, Ukraine hoped to conduct counter-offensives in the country's south.
“Taking the cities in the east meant that 60 percent of Russian forces are now concentrated in the east and it is difficult for them to be redirected to the south,” he said. “And there are no more forces that can be brought in from Russia. They paid a big price for Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.”
