Verbatim: "Our military is acting in a coordinated manner, professionally and in accordance with the tasks set by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, [President Zelenskyy], and Commander of our Armed Forces, General Zaluzhny. Everything is done according to the plan in our structures.
And if the enemy thinks that we are only going to defend ourselves, he's deeply mistaken. We will do as we see fit".
Details: Danilov also said the priority for Ukrainian diplomacy is to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
"The country's president and our diplomatic corps are working on closing the air space over our country. This is very important. Because this is the life of our civilians, our children. The issue has not been finally adopted, but the president and our diplomacy are working very hard on this issue. Because if we do not close the air space, our children will not be protected. This is the number one issue for us right now," said the RNBO Secretary said.
Background: A Ukrainian army brigade began to fortify the outskirts of Horlivka in the Donetsk region, which the occupiers have controlled since 2014.
According to Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President, for the first time in seven days of the war, Ukrainian units went on the offensive in a separate direction.
