Zelenskyy: Slow weapons delivery delayed counterattack against Russia
CGTN

Slow weapons delivery to Ukraine delayed Kyiv's planned counteroffensive, allowing Russia to bolster its defenses in occupied areas including with mines, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with CNN on Wednesday.

Zelenskyy said he had sought to begin the counteroffensive against Russia "much earlier" than its actual start in early June. "Our slowed-down counteroffensive is happening due to certain difficulties on the battlefield.”

Speaking with CNN's Erin Burnett in Odesa, Zelenskyy said that in some areas of the country the military cannot "even think of starting" attacks, because it does not have "the relevant weapons."
