Syrsky reports on the situation at the front

According to the commander-in-chief, Ukrainian soldiers are working in active defense mode.

This is important to do against the backdrop of an offensive by superior enemy forces. The defenders successfully repel enemy assaults in the Kupyansk and Siversk areas.

The largest losses of the Russian army were recorded in the Pokrovsky direction — about 40 percent of the fighting is currently taking place on this section of the front.

It is there that the enemy uses weather conditions — thick fog — to infiltrate Ukrainian positions.

The situation in the Oleksandrivka and Hulyaipil directions has significantly worsened, where the enemy, taking advantage of the numerical superiority in forces and means, advanced forward in the course of fierce battles and captured three settlements. Soldiers of the Group of Forces "South" are waging exhausting battles for Rivnepil' and Yablukove.
