The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, has denied reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive could be disrupted due to losses at the front. He stated that the media was citing sources rather than facts, and that it was not helpful to spread false information about the situation. He also noted that the Ukrainian army has been fighting a war against a large country for a year, and that they knew it would be difficult, but that it was not helpful to stir up the situation with inaccurate information.
