He said that heavy fighting continues in the Bakhmut direction near the railway. The Ukrainian military is trying to push back the Russians and gain a foothold on the achieved lines.
At the same time, he noted that the situation in the Liman-Kupyansky direction is more difficult. This direction is more dynamic.
“The enemy very intensively uses his new Su-35 attack aircraft, which can fire at both air and ground targets. Mostly they come in pairs. The enemy also uses Ka-52 helicopters, uses Su-25s, sometimes Mi-8s come in pairs, but the intensity of the assault actions has increased,” the speaker said.
Thus, 8 military clashes were recorded in this direction over the past 24 hours. In addition, the Russians chose a new settlement for attacks – Makeevka.
In turn, Ukrainian defenders repulse enemy attacks. They inflict fire on the invaders’ equipment, in particular tanks.
Over the past 24 hours alone, the Defense Forces destroyed 13 enemy weapons and military equipment, and also eliminated or wounded 122 invaders. They also managed to destroy two T-72 tanks, five armored combat vehicles – MT-LB, armored personnel carriers, BMD, two Ural and UAZ vehicles.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces also hit the Russian electronic warfare station Borisoglebsk and damaged the valuable Zoo radar station.
According to Yevlash, more than 110 thousand personnel of the Russian army, 1085 tanks, about 2 thousand armored combat vehicles, more than 700 units of artillery systems and almost half a thousand more MLRS are concentrated in the Liman-Kupyansk direction.
At the same time, in the Bakhmut direction, the invaders hold 51 thousand personnel, 211 tanks, a thousand armored combat vehicles, 110 artillery systems and another 100 MLRS.
The situation in the Liman-Kupyansky direction
Recently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that the Russians had resumed assaults on the Liman-Kupyansk line. They began to use aviation more actively.
