Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar says Ukraine has powerful and battle-hardened commanders on all fronts.

That’s according to her Facebook posting, seen by Ukrinform.

"The advantage of our Armed Forces over the enemy lies in the motivation and intelligence of our command. We have powerful battle-hardened commanders on all fronts. They orchestrate, plan, and lead," Maliar emphasized.

At the same time, the deputy defense minister added photos of Brigadier Generals Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, Andriy Kovalchuk, Andriy Hrytskov, Mykhailo Drapatyi, and Andriy Hnatov.

"This is who’s liberating our territories in the south. Look at their incredible faces. These are the depths of inner strength, military experience, indomitable character, and will to win," Maliar noted.

As Ukrinform reported, earlier on Friday, November 11, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense reported that Kherson was returning under the Ukrainian control as units of the Armed Forces were entering the city. The only chance for the Russian military to avoid death is to surrender immediately, the statement read.
