In an interview with Bloomberg, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Armed Forces currently have 14 brigades preparing for a counter-offensive, but they are still not equipped, as the US weapons voted by the US Congress in April have not yet arrived at the front.
"We have the desire (for a counter-offensive - ed.), but the tools have not arrived, as they say. That is, we have brigades without weapons, we have reserves, we have 14 incomplete brigades that do not have the appropriate weapons. Weapons that have already been voted for and discussed. The packages should come, but unfortunately, they are coming slowly," Zelenskyy said.
The Head of State also answered the question of whether the Defence Forces have enough personnel now.
"Soldiers always say that there are not enough. Civilians always say that we already have a lot of people in the army, and it is necessary to pay salaries, and it is difficult to pay taxes, and even raise so much money for the army. But as of today, the situation is much better than it was in the previous three months," the President noted.
