Despite the incredible resilience of Ukrainian soldiers, the war in Ukraine is far from over.

Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov said this in an interview with The Globe and Mail.

“They [Russian forces] have an advantage in artillery and heavy equipment. That doesn’t scare our warriors. We are holding our positions. From time to time we are delivering counterattacks. But the war is still ongoing, and we are far from its end, “Danilov said.

He added that the situation on the front line is “tense and complicated.”

“I’m not from the camp that believes the Russian army is weak. They have very big resources and they have brought them here, “Danilov said.

According to him, Russia still intends to capture all of Ukraine. “They definitely have not changed their plan to conquer all the country. They declare that publicly. They have pulled all of their masks off,” Danilov said.

He also said that Russia’s attack on Ukraine included five separate attempts to kill Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, all of them in late February and early March. However, he refused to disclose the details.
