Major Yurii Filatov, head of unmanned systems for Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps, shared the information on Espreso TV.“In the past month alone, it seems around 2,000 (Russians – ed.) have been sent to the other side. So overall, the situation cannot be described as very bad, but Russia is pressing. Our sector is quite large — 150 kilometers, which is 12% of the entire front,” he noted.Filatov emphasized that thanks to the successful destruction of Russian equipment, Ukraine’s Defense Forces have forced Russia to change its tactics.“The enemy has somewhat shifted tactics — or more precisely, we forced that shift. There haven’t been mechanized assaults in our area for quite a while now, as the Russians have run low on equipment. Instead, what we’re seeing is infiltration by small groups trying to probe for weaker points in our defenses. They send in men, they die, then they shift direction, send more men into a new sector, and this repeats constantly,” added the head of unmanned systems for the 3rd Army Corps.
