Representative of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army "South" Serhiy Bratchuk stated that the key task at the moment is to stabilize the front line, and only after that can we talk about liberating the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
Serhiy Bratchuk also emphasized that the Russians have certain daily successes. However, the enemy has not been able to achieve all its goals. In particular, the Luhansk region, which has strategic significance for the invaders, is not fully occupied. Part of the territory remains under Ukraine’s control, which our units have defended both since the start of the full-scale invasion and since 2014.
In the Kremlin, they constantly claim that the Crimean Peninsula, as well as Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kherson regions, are supposedly "regions of Russia." With such statements, the aggressor country attempts to divert the attention of the international community, as reported in the 24 Channel material.
"Therefore, it is important for us today to stabilize the front line, and only then think about liberating our territories. These tasks have not been lifted from us. The front line is stabilized, we have accumulated resources — prepared troops to respond to the main components of Russia’s offensive actions in 2025," the speaker emphasized.It also mentions the personnel of the Russian army and aviation, which are two factors that have a significant impact on the battlefield. Therefore, to liberate our territories, appropriate conditions must be created, which will be ensured in any case.
"But for this, the entire society needs to unite. Since any current talks about so-called negotiations, which have not yet started and are not being conducted, divide society and have a negative impact on people in the rear and part of the army. These talks must be stopped," Bratchuk emphasized.
He added that the enemy has not disappeared. It has already penetrated the territory of the Donetsk region, so it is necessary to maximally stop and destroy the occupiers in order to advance.
