A large Russian attack is likely to come from the east and south, Kyiv says, but it has the reserves to repel it.
Ukraine's defence minister says training on new Western weapons will start as early as MondayUkraine's outgoing defence minister has said the country is anticipating a new Russian offensive later this month.
Mr Reznikov's comments came hours before it was announced that he was to be replaced as defence minister. At an earlier press conference, Mr Reznikov said Russia did not have all of its resources ready to launch an offensive, but may do so anyway as a symbolic gesture, given the one-year anniversary of Moscow's full-scale invasion on 24 February.
Mr Reznikov said Ukraine had secured new long-range missiles with a range of 90-mile , but they will not be used against Russian territory - only against Russian units in occupied areas of Ukraine. Russian forces have been attempting to seize control of Bakhmut for months - making it the longest battle since Russia invaded Ukraine almost a year ago.It would also signify a turnaround in Russia's fortunes after it lost ground in Ukraine during recent months.
