This was reported on Espreso TV by Andriy Illienko, an officer with Ukraine’s 3rd Svoboda Battalion of the 4th Rubizh Brigade.“The situation on the front line is extremely difficult. The enemy continues to advance, deploying enormous forces for the offensive and suffering huge losses. Unfortunately, these massive losses have not yet stopped the Russians. However, I am convinced they are only creating the illusion that everything is fine. In reality, they face enormous problems — the scale of their battlefield losses cannot help but affect their prospects. We just need to withstand this onslaught. They likely want to make a final push in this war. The Russians are trying to put simultaneous pressure on the rear and intensify attacks on the front, particularly in Donetsk region. It seems they want to fulfill Putin’s delusion of capturing the entire region. They are throwing tremendous forces in that direction,” said Illienko.He emphasized that support for the Ukrainian Defense Forces remains critically important. According to him, the war has entered a phase when all Ukrainians must be united as never before.“Despite everything, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are holding back the Russian occupation army. Yes, it is very difficult, and unfortunately, we also suffer losses. That is why reinforcements for the Ukrainian  Armed Forces are vital today. It is crucial that the rear supports the front in every possible way. Only this unity will allow us to endure. Today is the moment when we all need to stand together,” Illienko added.According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the beginning of Friday, October 10, there have been 102 combat clashes along the Russian-Ukrainian front. Ukrainian forces repelled 26 attacks in the Pokrovsk direction, with eight more battles ongoing.
