What is happening now in the Donbas? Can the Ukrainian army liberate the occupied territories and where are the best prospects for an offensive? How long will it take the Ukrainian army to reach the border — and will Russia prevent it from doing so? OBOZREVATEL spoke with the commander of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army Dmitry Yarosh about this, as well as what the fate of President Vladimir Zelensky may be, the risks of revenge, "peace at any cost" and new threats from Russia. - The very first – and, perhaps, the most important: what is happening now in the Donbas? What trends are observed? - There have been no drastic changes there over the past year. But there is an activation at the front. This can be seen even from official reports. But our Armed Forces, thank God, are working more efficiently than they did even a year ago. The enemy's losses are much greater now. The qualifications of the APU and all units that are in the area of the OOS are growing. While we were officially at the front, I always set a task for my guys: "minus" the enemy. Because it leads to demoralization, disorientation of the enemy forces. And the Armed Forces are doing it well now. Sergey Yanaev did a good job. I hope that the new commander of the OOS, Alexander Syrsky, will also perform well the tasks assigned to him by his Homeland. https://web.archive.org/web/20220226040344/https://incident.obozrevatel.com/crime/dmitrij-yarosh-esli-zelenskij-predast-ukrainu-poteryaet-ne-dolzhnost-a-zhizn.htm
