 Ukraine changes strategy of its counter-offensive. Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, Alexei Danilov, said that Ukraine has changed strategy in its offensive. According to Danilov, forward movement is not the number one priority for the Ukrainian army at this point of the offensive. The key task now, in his words, is to wipe out as many troops and weapons of the enemy as possible. The maximum destruction of Russian military personnel and hardware is currently the number one task For Ukraine, Danilov claimed, at this stage of active hostilities, Ukraine's defence forces are fulfilling the number one task. The maximum destruction of manpower, equipment, fuel depots, military vehicles, command posts, artillery and air defence forces of the Russian army. Danilov said, claiming that the last few days have been particularly fruitful. Now the war of destruction is equal to the war of kilometres. More destroyed means more liberated, he added. He said, presently, the success of our destructive measures directly correlates with our progress on the ground. More dismantling leads to more freedom. The efficiency of the former drives the magnitude of the latter. Elaborating on Ukraine's tactical approach, the secretary declared that the nation is advancing in a composed, sagacious manner, moving forward one step at a time. He noted the achievements thus far are due to the methodical and prudent manner in which the Ukrainian forces have executed their counter-offensive strategies, resulting in the effective debilitation of Russian forces.
