Ukrainian forces have already begun a counteroffensive, Mihailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian President's Chancellery, said in an interview with an Italian TV station, according to Rador.
The official added that the front has spread over 1,500 kilometres and "some operations have already begun".
Mikhail Podoliak reiterated that Ukraine does not intend to use the weapons supplied by its allies to attack Russia, but will only use them in "territories occupied by the Russian Federation, including Crimea and Donbas".
