The assault actions of the Russian occupiers continued and are continuing, but their effectiveness is falling. For example, in the area of defense of Toretsk, Ukrainian soldiers are consolidating and the Russians cannot win them back.
This was announced by the head of the Council of Reservists of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ivan Tymochko, on the air of the telethon, reports UNN.
Assault actions, they potentially really lasted and continue, but their effectiveness is falling. That is, the indicators of the occupied territories that the Russians manage to occupy are getting smaller and smaller each time. This is due to the fact that there is still some exhaustion, this is the fact that they are losing equipment that they cannot compensate for by removing it from warehouses or purchasing it, or receiving it from their allies, as well as the fact that we still counterattack more effectively from time to time
He noted that, for example, in the Pokrovsky direction, Ukrainian soldiers managed to repel and win back territories.
The same situation is in the Toretsky direction. The same enemy forces in the Vovchansky direction are constrained, and this forces them, on the one hand, to keep a military contingent there, and on the other hand, from the moment they entered the Vovchansky direction into the border zone, they have not actually advanced
He noted that in the area of defense of Toretsk, Ukrainian soldiers are consolidating and the Russians cannot win them back.
Similarly, assault actions, if we see an increase in the Lyman and Toretsky directions, but in the Toretsky direction in the area of defense of Toretsk, it often turns out that the Russians do not just lose territories, territories do not just pass from hand to hand, but we are already consolidating and they cannot win them back. But we must understand that there is a Putin's command for attacks, there is a Putin's command for at least regaining control over those territories from which they fled, and this means that the intensity of the fighting is very high. The effectiveness has fallen, this is important
