Arestovych noted that the armed forces have defeated the Russian troops on the ground.
"They do not carry out offensive actions because they have exhausted their offensive potential. Exhausted because we have defeated the Russian forces with our ground forces, missile forces, artillery and aircraft. When we calculated where their positions were and received data about them, we shelled their positions and defeated them, - Arestovych said.
He also denied reports that the Ukrainian troops attacked the Russians up to 50 kilometers from Kyiv.
"Our ground forces did a little work, but I do not give details. But the main defeat was inflicted by artillery strikes - many manpower and equipment of the Russian army were killed, stocks were destroyed," Arestovych said.
The Russian invaders were stopped in Boryspil and Brovary
As for Boryspil and Brovary, the Ukrainian military stopped the Russian invaders in these areas. Putin's troops were annihilated by Ukrainian artillery.
"They were stopped there, our artillery and ground forces defeated them. Therefore, you should not worry here either. It is the same as in the northwest of Kyiv", Arestovych said.
