General Staff: Russian Federation to revise strategic goals for seizing Ukraine's left bank in 2023

This was reported by Alexei Gromov, deputy head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, during a briefing.

The experience and courage of our defenders and their skilful use of weapons from partner countries have led to a reduction in Russia's military potential. And this will almost certainly force the aggressor to once again reconsider the strategic objectives of the war. Including the phased seizure of the entire left bank of Ukraine this year," Gromov said.

The General Staff predicts that in the spring and summer of 2023, the enemy will increase the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the formations and military units that are involved in the war against Ukraine.

Gromov added that Russia would continue to form strategic reserves and transfer them to our borders.
