Senior Ukrainian commander sees imminent ‘turning point’ in war
KHARKIV REGION, Ukraine – Ukraine has a six-month window in which to seize the battlefield initiative from Russia and strengthen its hand for peace talks, a senior commander said, predicting a “turning point” was imminent after more than four years of war.
Russian forces have made grinding gains since their full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, but the advances have slowed this year, and Ukrainian troops are increasing pressure on the battlefield to try to push them back.
Brig. Gen. Andriy Biletsky, who commands Ukraine’s Third Army Corps, one of Ukraine’s most respected fighting forces, said in an interview that he believes Russia’s army is exhausted and incapable of making major breakthroughs.
