Russian troops continue to use the tactics of small assault groups in the Pokrovsk direction, but they are reducing the use of armored vehicles. Instead, small infantry groups attack Ukrainian soldiers without cover.
“The enemy continues to try to storm with small groups, applying pressure. They are not conserving their manpower at all, sending more and more people. Equipment is not being used; instead, they are trying to advance in small assault groups through fields and thickets,” said a representative of the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade.
Ukrainian soldiers have already adapted to the anti-drone cloaks used by the enemy. They know how to detect this tactic and overcome it.
Ukrainian forces continue to repel enemy attacks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that the Russian army is concentrating its efforts in the Pokrovsk direction, where it is suffering the greatest losses. Ukrainian troops continue to carry out their tasks in Donetsk and hold the defense.
“Overall, on the front, only in the first eight months of this year, the Russians have lost more than 290 thousand of their soldiers killed and seriously wounded. They have suffered the greatest losses in Donetsk, failing to realize any of their strategic objectives in the process. Stabilization measures are ongoing in some sections of the front,” the head of state stated.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine counters the report of the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, calling it 'an outright lie.' According to the Ukrainian General Staff, Russian troops have not gained control over any major city.
Ukrainian soldiers continue to defend their positions and adapt to the enemy's new tactical techniques. In recent months, Russian troops have suffered significant losses, while Ukrainian forces continue to successfully repel attacks in various directions on the front.
