Syrsky: Situation On Front In Ukraine Is Complicated

The Russians are trying to reach Kurakhove and Pokrovsk.

The situation on the eastern front is now difficult. Russian invaders are trying to reach the large settlements of Kurakhove and Pokrovsk. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky.

“Due to the difficult situation in the East, for two days I worked in units that are conducting defensive operations in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions, that is, in the direction of the enemy’s main attack. It is here that the main striking forces of the enemy are concentrated, who are trying to break through the defenses of our troops and, building on their success, reach the large settlements of Kurakhove and Pokrovsk,” he said.

According to him, the Russians initially have a numerical advantage in personnel, weapons and military equipment, so the enemy attacks the positions of Ukrainian troops every day.

“Our task in these conditions is to hold the occupied lines and positions, using artillery fire, attack UAVs and all means to inflict maximum losses on the enemy, deplete them, thereby disrupting enemy plans and gaining time for the formation and preparation of our reserves,” said Syrsky.

He noted that he had worked with unit commanders.

“While working with brigade commanders and their subordinates, I made all the necessary decisions to strengthen the defense with reserves, allocate an additional number of missiles, ammunition, electronic warfare equipment and UAVs. I’m sure this will help our units successfully repel enemy attacks and inflict significant losses on the enemy,” added Syrsky.
