On the active front line stretching approximately 1250 km, the enemy has concentrated around 712 thousand Russian soldiers. Up to 190 clashes occur daily, but Ukrainian forces successfully seize the initiative and thwart the enemy's breakthrough attempts. This was reported by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, during a meeting with journalists.
Over the past year, the front line has increased by approximately 200 km, and in another 2.4 km area where there are no battles, Ukrainian troops maintain defense.
The Russians are using the 'thousand cuts' tactic, especially in the Novopavlivsk direction, where the borders of Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions meet. It is important for the enemy to demonstrate presence in these territories.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, noted that the enemy had redeployed naval units to break through the defense, but the active actions of the Ukrainian troops disrupted the offensive. The entire Russian naval infantry is currently entangled in battles in the Dobropillia direction.
