"I worked in units and subdivisions involved in combat operations in the Kursk direction. The importance of this operational area cannot be underestimated given the number of enemy troops concentrated there," Syrsky wrote on Telegram.
According to him, if it were not for the resilience of Ukrainian soldiers, these tens of thousands of enemies from the best Russian strike units would have stormed Ukrainian positions at the Pokrovske, Kurakhove or Toretske directions, which would have significantly worsened the situation at the front.
"Now, following the order of their military leadership, they are trying to push our troops out and advance deeper into the territory we control. Our task in this area is to deter and destroy the enemy on his land," said Syrsky.
He emphasized that his work was devoted to assisting commanders in organizing combat operations, increasing the effectiveness of enemy fire, and addressing issues of comprehensive provision and training of reserves.
