Reznikov: Enemy’s resources in Ukraine depleting, captivity trend growing

The enemy's resources in Ukraine are depleting, a logistical collapse is looming, so invaders surrender increasingly.

"Tenth day of resistance to Russian terrorists. Tenth day of courage of the Armed Forces, National Guard members, border guards, rescuers, fighters of other security agencies, all Ukrainians who heroically hold the fort. Thanks to all our people, the Kremlin’s plans to conquer Ukrainians in two days, capture big cities, change the state leadership, and annex Ukraine to Russia have failed," Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov posted on Facebook.

According to him, the enemy has advanced in some directions but controls only a small territory, while Ukrainian defenders give a strong rebuff and oust the aggressor.

Russia is changing tactics given its slow pace of the offensive and the resistance of the Ukrainians. To date, the Ukrainian sky is the most vulnerable. The aggressor comprehensively and actively uses its air and missile potential. Aviation of all kinds bombards cities, towns and civilian infrastructure, including critical and dangerous facilities like nuclear and hydropower

plants.

The "great" army has shown its true insides – a coward terrorist who is able to attack only the civilian population: children, women, unarmed civilians. Targeted shelling, bombardment and missile attacks on residential neighborhoods, schools, kindergartens, and hospitals. The enemy is destroying temples and churches, shelling railway stations with thousands of women and children evacuating. It’s tactics of frightened jackals. But I say with confidence: the enemy will be held liable for every life, for every teardrop," the minister emphasized.

According to Reznikov, he admires the strength of Ukrainians in Mariupol, Volnovakha, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Mykolayiv, Kherson and all other cities where the situation is especially tense.

"We work towards establishing ceasefire regime and opening humanitarian corridors. The enemy does not know the value of human life, but we will do everything possible to help our citizens. We hope that humanitarian corridor will work and we will be able to evacuate civilians," Reznikov said.
