Details
I continue to work in the Pokrovsk and Ocheretyne directions, where the enemy is concentrating its main efforts. The operational situation here is difficult. Last week alone, there were about 400 combat engagements in these directions. The aggressor continues attempts to break through, intensifies pressure, and brings in reserves. Our key task is to inflict maximum losses on the enemy, destroy its reserves, and consistently reduce its offensive potential. During my work directly on the ground, together with unit commanders, we thoroughly analyze the course of combat operations
According to Syrskyi, the enemy continues to use the tactic of advancing in small infantry groups. Their timely detection, containment, and destruction require constant monitoring of the battlefield, clear coordination of units, and flexible tactical solutions.
"We pay special attention to strengthening drone units - primarily the use of attack drones to strike the occupiers, as well as the development of logistics with the involvement of robotic systems. War is changing - we are changing our approaches to waging it. Scaling modern technologies directly affects the effectiveness of combat operations and allows us to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers. I thank every serviceman for destroying the invaders, for coordinated teamwork, and for a high level of professionalism. The struggle continues. Glory to Ukraine!" the official emphasizes.
