According to Reuters and other sources, on the 26th, in the first press conference since the invasion began, General Zarzhny of the Ukrainian army stated that the town of Marinka "no longer exists" and that he would move his troops to the northern suburbs. and suggested retreat.
He also said, ``We are defending all the land, but the lives of our soldiers are more important,'' and expressed the view that Audi Ifka, where fierce offensives and defenses continue, could be captured within two to three months.
Regarding Marinka, Russia claimed on the 25th that it had "completely taken control," and President Putin evaluated that "it will now be possible to carry out operations over a wider area."

On the 26th, General Zarzhny, the top general of the Ukrainian military, responded to President Zelenskiy's statement that ``the military has proposed mobilizing an additional 450,000 to 500,000 people'' amid the protracted Russian invasion, citing the number of military personnel. He denied that he had made any such request.

There are whispers of a conflict between Mr. Zarzhny and Mr. Zelensky, and there are even rumors of his dismissal.
Mr. Zelenskyy's remarks were made at a press conference on the 19th. Regarding this, Zarzhny said on local television, ``The military has never requested (the Zelenskiy government) additional mobilization with specific numbers.''
In Ukraine, men are still prohibited from leaving the country, and the number of casualties is not made public. Additional mobilization could lead to an anti-war mood in Japan. This appears to be a result of a disagreement between Mr. Zelenskyy, who said that the additional mobilization that will be needed in the future was "proposed by the military," as the counteroffensive against Russia that began in June of this year has failed to produce any significant results.
