Officials in Kyiv are also concerned that Moscow may be planning an assault on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city in the northeast.

This week, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of a decline in his country's air defense capabilities after Russian missiles and drone strikes hit Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

The enemy is actively attacking our positions in the Liman and Bakhmut sectors with assault groups and armored vehicles. In the Pokrovske sector, they are trying to break through our defenses using dozens of tanks and armored personnel carriers

Syrsky said, referring to strategically important areas of eastern Ukraine.

Syrsky said that Russia's advance was facilitated by "warm, dry weather, which made most of the open terrain accessible to tanks.

Russia's main efforts are centered around the hilltop mining town of Chasiv Yar, just 15 km west of Bakhmut, a town destroyed and occupied by Russian soldiers and Wagner mercenaries almost a year ago after a bitter 11-month struggle.

The only way to defeat Russia's larger and more powerful army and create conditions for seizing the strategic initiative on the battlefield is to achieve technical superiority with "high-tech weapons," Syrsky said. The weapons, he said, should come from Western partners.
