According to him, the current ratio of our assault actions to the actions of the enemy is approximately 40 to 60.
Ukrainian troops continue their defensive operation, combining it with stabilization measures, and in certain directions are conducting active operations and maintaining operational initiative. At the same time, the average monthly losses of the enemy in killed and wounded amount to about 32,000 military personnel
He added that in terms of the pace of advancement, the sides have actually approached parity. Currently, there is a steady trend towards an increase in the ratio of territory liberated by the Defense Forces of Ukraine to those areas where the enemy manages to advance, the post states.
At the same time, a turning point in the war is still far off, and the Russian occupiers cannot be underestimated.
The enemy has not abandoned its plans for the complete occupation of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, seeks to expand offensive operations in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, and also to create and expand a buffer zone in the northern regions of Ukraine
