He added that measures are underway to liberate settlements on the outskirts of Kyiv but warned that Moscow's forces that still remain around the capital are "quite large." Ukraine's Armed Forces believe that they will focus on taking the eastern Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts, according to Gruzevych.
