Commenting situation on frontline, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence noted, “Today, the front line extends for 2,400 km, that is, as much as the USSR held against Nazi Germany in the Second World War. At that time, the Soviet Union received much more military assistance from the West. The West should give assistance "more seriously", otherwise the war will drag on longer and have high cost for Ukraine and the world. The first evidences of famine in Africa became possible due to russia's naval blockade of the Black Sea ports and obstruction of the supply of Ukrainian grain.”

Agreeing with the Western assessment that the russian troops have degraded and demoralized, the chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine noted: "If Russia now acknowledges that it could not defeat Ukraine, it will not be the collapse of the system, it will be the collapse of statehood. Therefore, the russian army will be forced to fight to the end. They have no other choice.”
