In the Siverskyi direction, the enemy has intensified attacks, mainly using infantry and sabotage groups. But this may just be preparation for mass assaults using armored vehicles.



Russian troops are actively conducting assault operations, trying to advance through darkness and forested areas. They continue to attack Ukrainian positions with 'human waves', not using a significant amount of equipment.



'They are not applying much equipment. Probably accumulating, waiting for deteriorating weather conditions, more mud. Right now, infantry is trying a bit to advance. But as the weather worsens, I think they will start using equipment.' - explained a representative of the 'Phoenix' unit of the State Border Guard Service.


This enemy tactic indicates the Russians' readiness for autumn soft ground conditions, which could complicate the actions of Ukrainian forces and provide an advantage in using enemy armored vehicles. Ukrainian defense forces successfully repel enemy attacks, despite the pressure and attempts of the enemy to break through the defense with 'human waves'.
