 Ukraine is preparing for counter-offensive operations around the clock. We will defeat Russia. A top Ukrainian official said that Ukraine will launch its counter-offensive against Russian troops when it's ready, adding that it's only a matter of time before the country achieves the necessary level of military preparedness to do so. Olexii Danilov, the Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, told the Associated Press in an interview in Kiev that Ukraine's allies are helping the government to achieve the level of technical equipment necessary to launch the attack, delivering heavy armoured vehicles and ammunition. Speaking about a major US intelligence leak, Danilov echoed other Ukrainian leaders who say they don't see it as gravely damaging future offensives, stressing that Ukraine doesn't share highly sensitive information with anyone. If someone thinks that we report to someone, then he is deeply mistaken, he said. Such sensitive security matters are decided in closed meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and only there will it be decided when, in what direction, at what pace, we will liberate our territory, he added. He said that Ukraine was working round the clock to prepare for a possible offensive, including Saturday and Sunday. There is no vacation in war. It's only a matter of time. This time comes with a very heavy price for us. Danilov is confident that it not only turned the tiny settlement into the place the whole world speaks about, but proves it's extremely hard to conquer Ukraine by military means for Russia. He also remains confident in Ukraine's efforts to return to its occupied territories. We will defeat Russia, he said. If you have a strong inner spirit, you will definitely win and we always had it strong. This is something that always annoyed the Russians.
