Russian troops have become more active in the Novopavlivka direction, trying to break through the defense and capture three settlements, but a number of measures have been taken and troops have been regrouped, which has slowed the enemy's advance in most threatened areas. This was reported by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi after a visit to the brigades working in the area, UNN reports.
In connection with the intensification of enemy actions, I worked in our brigades that are defending Donetsk region in the Novopavlivka direction. The enemy is intensifying its offensive in this area, trying to break through the defense of our troops and capture three settlements. However, our side has taken a number of measures to improve the interaction of military units and subdivisions, regrouped troops, which slowed down the enemy's advance in most threatened areas
At the command posts, the Chief of Staff heard from Brigadier General Oleksandr Tarnavsky, commander of the Donetsk operational and tactical group, and brigade commanders "about the conduct of hostilities, existing needs and problematic issues." "I gave all the necessary orders to resolve them," Syrsky said.
The plan of the Russian occupiers in these areas has remained unchanged for more than three years, namely, to reach the administrative borders of Donetsk region. However, the enemy's losses are only increasing, and the plans remain unrealized. Our soldiers inflict maximum losses on enemy personnel and equipment
Syrsky expressed his sincere gratitude to the defenders of Ukraine for their efficiency, courage and resilience. "Glory to Ukraine!" - he wrote.
