Despite the loud statements about readiness for a ceasefire during the May holidays, the occupiers significantly increased the intensity of hostilities, focusing their main efforts on the Pokrovsky direction. The lack of prospects in the operational and tactical plan does not stop the enemy, he stubbornly tries to break through the defense of our troops in this direction and reach the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk region
According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, "for this purpose, the Russian command throws new units into battle every day, drives its soldiers to death, reports on illusory successes and victories."
Syrskyi said that "in connection with the above situation" he worked in the brigades that hold the defense in this direction. "During the work, I listened to the commanders in detail, made decisions on additional provision of ammunition, drones, electronic warfare equipment and reserves. Special emphasis is placed on unmanned strike systems," the Commander-in-Chief noted.
"Despite the constant pressure and attempts to break through, the enemy constantly suffers losses and retreats back. Fire damage is carried out to the entire depth of the enemy's battle formations. I thank our soldiers for their efficiency and professionalism. The struggle continues. Glory to Ukraine!" - emphasized the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
