Ukrainian defense advisor: 'Russia is not getting an inch of Ukrainian land'

DW spoke to Yuri Sak, an advisor to the Ukrainian defense minister, who said: "Trust me, Russia is getting no inch of Ukrainian land. From now on, the direction of the military activities will be only one way, which is driving the enemy out." And Sak said there was cause for optimism. "We know that the Russians are regrouping. They are sending reinforcements, hoping to make another Bakhmut. But look, Russians are running out of options and sometimes their actions seem so chaotic."
