Ukrainian units continue actively constructing fortifications in certain areas of the country, but there is no immediate threat from Russian forces at the moment, the Ukrainian military’s General Staff has said.

Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, shared insights into the animated debates unfolding during meetings of the General Staff led by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief in a recent interview with Radio NV.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi had to abandon the original plan for the summer counteroffensive within four days of the operation, the Washington Post reported on Dec. 4, citing senior officials familiar with the matter.

A total of 88 combat engagements took place in the frontline on Dec. 2, with the Russians attacking mostly in the Bakhmut and Avdiivka sectors, the Ukrainian military’s General Staff said in its morning report on Dec. 3, the 648th day of Russia’s full-scale invasion and war.
