This has been corrected.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky visited Donbas and spoke about the miscalculations of the operational commanders which had a definite impact on the defence. At the same time, reserves have already been allocated to recover the situation.

He said that during the work, certain miscalculations of operational commanders in the current situation and the assessment of the enemy were found, which "directly affected the stability of defence in certain areas."

"I took all measures to correct the situation on the spot, with the allocation of an additional resource of ammunition and material resources, as well as the necessary reserves," Syrsky stated.

Situation at the front

As the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted, the enemy continues active offensive operations in many areas of the front line, in particular, a particularly tense situation has developed in the Avdiivka and Zaporizhzhia directions, where Russian assault units are trying to break through the defence of Ukrainian troops and seize the settlements of Tonenke, Orlivka, Semenivka, Berdichi, Krasnohorivka.

"Severe battles continue in the areas of Verbove and Robotine. The enemy is trying to regain control there. I began my work in the combat zone with the Donetsk Operational Group, in the units that hold the defence in the Avdiivka direction," the general added.

Syrsky also noted the courage and steady heroism of the 3rd Assault Brigade and the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade.

"They knocked out the enemy who broke into the outskirts of Orlivka with bold and decisive actions," the general added.
