National Guard commander on counteroffensive: Time will come, we will find loophole, and there will be breakthrough
The defence forces of Ukraine continue to put pressure on the Russian troops and to recapture land captured by the Russian occupier's metre by metre.

Details: It is known how difficult it is to recapture each kilometre during a counteroffensive. UP asked the officer when the offensive could show certain results.
Pivnenko noted that of course, there will be no such thing as reaching Crimea in just one shot. But the offensive continues, and Russians are in for more surprises.
Quote: "If we move forward, this is already a certain result. Everyone remembers that operation on the Izium front [in autumn 2022] and believes it will be just the same. But no, it does not work that way. For us, every [reclaimed] metre is already a result. We are moving forward.
You will see, the time will come when we make a breakthrough on some front. And it's not guaranteed that it will happen exactly where someone wants it to. We will find a loophole and go in, and it will be fine. And they will lose many of our territories.
We're on a tough spot because Russia is a big country with great resources. But we know that we have no way out – we will reach the borders of 1991. It takes time."
