Head of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Danilov: Kyiv does not rule out an offensive by the Russian army from any direction
The command of the Russian group in the special operation zone is preparing a large-scale offensive, but Kyiv cannot say exactly where it will begin. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is preparing for defense along the entire line of contact.
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov said that Kyiv does not know which side the Russian troops will go from, therefore, just in case, they block all possible directions. At least they are trying to do this, such as, for example, the northern direction on the border with Belarus. Although there is no information about the preparation of the offensive from there, nothing can be ruled out. According to him, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is considering all scenarios.

According to Danilov, the main battles in which the fate of Ukraine will be decided are ahead, and he has no doubt that the Ukrainian army will win. As already mentioned, Kyiv is counting on the help of the West, especially in terms of the supply of weapons, in particular armored vehicles, including heavy ones, and artillery.
