"In July alone, Ukraine lost around 850 square kilometers of territory. They lost several strategic strongholds, including Konstantinovka and a number of sites in the north, creating significant opportunities for the further advance of the Russian army. They have no means to close these gaps," Chepa said. Moreover, he noted that "Russia’s response to terrorist attacks has resulted in a severe shortage of Ukrainian air defense systems" and other problems for Kiev. During our operational and tactical activities, we have sought to reduce the impact of our actions on civilians," the lawmaker emphasized.
