Zelensky’s troops are preparing for the counteroffensive

Ukrainian troops are training for the big offensive. In a car, a father and his son team up. They fight together in the region of Zaporijjia (Ukraine), one of the areas approached for the attack. “We will both stay with my son for this offensive. I don’t know when it will finally be the time for us, but we will not part. Not before the end, that is to say the victory”, says the father. The small town of Orikhiv (Ukraine) could be one of the corridors of attack led to the reconquest.

The long wait in Orikhiv

The small town of Orikhiv (Ukraine), heavily bombarded by Russian artillery and aircraft, could be one of the corridors of attack led to the reconquest. “Three very good lines of defense, that’s what the Russians have put in front of us. So it will be very hard. So yes, our commanders take the time to get there, and end up victorious.” explains a soldier. Suddenly, Russian planes appear in the sky. The faces are strained. The inhabitants are torn between fear, expectation and hope.

“President Zelensky declares that he wants to avoid at all costs too heavy losses during this counter-offensive, hence this long and painful wait, in these villages located very close to the front line.concludes the journalist Maryse Burgot.
