Thus, he commented on the statement of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky about the preparation of a counteroffensive.

"The answer to it can only be this: the mass destruction of personnel and military equipment used by the Nazi regime during the counteroffensive, with the infliction of maximum military defeat on the Armed Forces of Ukraine," Medvedev wrote on Telegram.

He also called for "acts of retaliation against key figures" of the regime in Ukraine.

Earlier, the assistant to the head of Chechnya, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apti Alaudinov, expressed confidence that the counteroffensive would end in defeat for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Former adviser to Leonid Kuchma, Oleg Soskin, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not able to attack due to a lack of weapons, personnel and missiles.
