According to him, the situation in eastern Ukraine remains difficult.
On Kupyansk direction the enemy is trying to capture Sinkovka at any cost and create conditions for blocking Kupyansk. After losses, the occupiers regroup and move units from other directions. The total number of personnel in enemy assault units is more than two thousand.
The Russians resumed intensive offensive operations on Liman direction, they want to oust the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Serebryansky forestry area and expand the Torsky ledge. The invaders also want to capture Terny and go to the Black Stallion River.
On Seversky direction The invaders are trying to develop an offensive in the areas of Sporny and Belogorovka. The Russian Federation is preparing assault units of paratroopers for an offensive in the direction of Soledar and Seversk.
On Bakhmut direction Intense fighting continues. The enemy is trying to capture Bogdanovka and restore the lost position in the areas of Kleshchievka, Kurdyumovka and Andreevka. The assault groups of the “volunteer corps”, moved from the southern direction, operate here. The Russians also sent the marines of the Caspian Flotilla into the attack.
As Syrsky noted, in the east the occupiers began to use more armored vehicles, kamikaze drones and increased artillery shelling.
“In all directions of the enemy’s offensive, our commanders at all levels are taking the necessary measures to strengthen defense and prevent the enemy from advancing,” the general noted.
Despite the difficult situation, our soldiers inflict losses on the enemy. Thus, in the last week alone, in the Eastern direction, the occupiers lost more than 3 thousand personnel, of which more than a thousand were killed. 361 units of enemy equipment were destroyed and damaged. Of these, 43 tanks, 83 armored combat vehicles, 69 artillery systems.
Situation at the front
Now the majority of the Ukrainian military is on active defense and attacks whenever possible. In particular, in the Bakhmut and Zaporozhye region.
Recently it became known that Ukrainian soldiers recaptured one of the waste heaps from the invaders in the Gorlovka area of the Donetsk region. However, for example, the situation in the Avdeevka and Marinka area is complex.
Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valeriy Zaluzhny said that Ukrainian soldiers retreated to the northern outskirts of Marinka, since the Russians had completely destroyed the Ukrainian city.
He also admitted that if there are not enough forces to protect Avdiivka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces may leave the city and then recapture it.
