Direct speech: “Now the commander-in-chief is conducting an audit, he wants to be in every place, in every brigade, in the appropriate direction, in order to understand and draw conclusions. First of all, the issue of reserves, rotations. We need to put things in order and put an end to it.
Not only can you fight, you need to rest. A person must understand: this is how many days, then he goes away, rests, and counts his strength.
To do this, you need to properly prepare reserves. They were not prepared properly. This is also a fact. We must identify our weak points. They were, they are, and we need to fix them. And to fix it, you need to understand what’s happening.”
Details: Zelensky also noted that it is necessary to find out “who is in the offices, why there, how many people were mobilized, what percentage of them were at the front.”
He also gave an example of “both us and our partners.”
Direct speech: “We had a fist for a counter-offensive. I won’t say where, everyone already knows roughly the details. And I won’t say how much was being prepared. Until now, from that package, 4 brigades are naked. 4 brigades without the equipment that was agreed upon “, signed, shook hands. Didn’t get there. Could 4 brigades have fought? No, they didn’t fight. They stood and waited for the equipment. I say this without reproach. But there are questions and need to be answered. That’s what the audit is for.”
