“I’m speaking frankly – I’m starting to get annoyed by the fact that from every corner I hear about the “counteroffensive”, – Egor Firsov writes in social networks. – Wherever you open the video or text – everywhere there is “competent” information about the “counteroffensive”.
“Well, will you free Donetsk soon? They said on TV: there will be a counteroffensive in the spring,” a saleswoman at a gas station in Konstantinovka told me yesterday.
You stand there and think what the hell is this? Am I playing football here?
Everyone thinks that a counteroffensive is a must, as was the case in the Kharkiv region, when 150 settlements were sacked almost without loss. But now the situation is different. The enemy drew conclusions, built serious fortified areas, and conducts video surveillance along the entire front line 24 hours a day.

You have no idea how much effort and sweat it takes to recapture a small landing from the enemy 300 meters from your positions. And for some reason, people perceive the counteroffensive so easily, as if they grabbed a machine gun – “trade yes that” and in kings.
Of course there will be a counteroffensive. But then, when the command sees an opportunity for him and completes serious preparations. Maybe in the spring, maybe in the summer or autumn, or maybe tomorrow.
But if it hadn’t started, we should treat conversations about it with responsibility. Because words form public opinion, and public opinion influences the decisions of politicians, including Western ones. Politicians, in turn, set the task for the military. And if these tasks are dictated by the expectations of the electorate, and not by the capabilities of the army and military expediency, then this is a lot of blood, lives and disappointments … “

I am currently working as a news website author at Daily News Hack. I mostly cover trending news and have been doing so for quite some time now. I have always had a keen interest in current affairs and the world around me, which is what led me to my current job.
I firmly believe that the best way to learn about something is by doing it yourself and that is why I love my job so much. It allows me to be constantly learning about new things and then sharing that knowledge with others.
I am also a big believer in the power of networking and building relationships. I think that LinkedIn is a great platform for connecting with like-minded people from all over the world.
