Ukraine is preparing a counteroffensive against the Russian army, announced the Defense Minister of the Kiev Government, Oleksi Reznikov, on the day that marks one year since the last Russian military campaign against Ukrainian territory.
“We will strike harder, from greater distances, in the air, on land, at sea and in cyberspace. There will be our counteroffensive. We are working hard to prepare it,” Reznikov said in a message posted Friday on Facebook.
The military offensive launched on February 24, 2022 by Russia in Ukraine has so far caused the flight of more than 14 million people -6.5 million internally displaced persons and more than eight million to European countries-, according to the latest data. recent reports from the UN, which classifies this refugee crisis as the worst in Europe since the Second World War (1939-1945).
Right now, at least 17.7 million Ukrainians are in need of humanitarian aid and 9.3 million are in need of food aid and housing.
The Russian invasion – justified by Russian President Vladimir Putin as the need to “denazify” and demilitarize Ukraine for Russia’s security – was condemned by the wider international community, which has responded by sending weapons to Ukraine and imposing Russia from the political point of view and economic sanctions.
