Counteroffensive is 'very difficult': Zelensky

Counteroffensive is "very difficult." This was stated by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky during a joint press conference with Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo.

"The minefields are hindering the Ukrainian armed forces' fighters in advancing the counteroffensive. The attack is progressing slowly, but the most important thing is that everything is underway; I am being briefed on this by the military," Zelensky said.

It should be noted that Finland will soon approve a new support package for Ukraine, its 18th. This was announced by the Finnish Prime Minister during the press conference, who also added: "There are things that are truly necessary: heavy weaponry and ammunition."
