The situation on the front “has worsened.” With these words the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of UkraineOleksandr Sirski, warning that Russian troops now have superiority in several areas from the country. Waiting for the arrival of the million-dollar aid approved by USA Last week, Ukraine thus recognized that in several territories Russian forces have already managed to have a greater number of men, as well as a greater number of weapons.
As Sirski has revealed, the case of the eastern region of Donetsk, where Russian troops have made tactical advances. “In an attempt to seize the strategic initiative and break the front line, the enemy has focused its main efforts on several areas, creating a significant advantage in forces and means. Russia is actively attacking along the entire front, and in some areas it is having tactical success,” the Ukrainian defense leader said on his Telegram channel.
These statements come, in fact, exactly after Russia has managed to gain ground on Ukraine. Precisely in the Donetsk region, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated this Sunday that its troops have achieved take the town of Novobajmutivkalocated north of the city of Avdivka, a territory that was a strong Ukrainian bastion, but which was also taken by Russian forces last February.
In addition to this, other unconfirmed information is also circulating that claims that Russian troops have similarly taken the town of Ocheretine, north of Donetsk, and Berdichi, somewhat further south. Therefore, Ukraine has confirmed that Defense is being strengthened in these areas replacing units that have suffered losses and relocating there brigades that have already recovered their combat capacity.
Russia hopes to take advantage of Ukrainian weakness
Faced with its advance, Russia has encouraged its troops not to lose this dynamic and to take advantage of the weakness that the Ukrainian army is experiencing. According to a Kremlin spokesman this Sunday, Ukrainian forces are even panicking: “Panic is growing on the front on the Ukrainian side… We all have old friends, family members of friends and others who fight on the front lines. Some come on vacation and tell it, others share it on the phone, in letters. It is first-hand information, there, on the other side, panic spreads.”
The representative of the Russian Government has then reiterated the importance of not stopping and continuing to advance in the objectives that Putin’s country set for the Ukrainian country. After Ukraine’s failed military counteroffensive last summer, the truth is that the situation in the war turned around and Russian forces took the initiative. After occupying Avdivka two months ago, they have continued to advance gradually into eastern Ukraine. A situation of improvement that is also expanding to other areas
Among them, the Russian forces have asserted this Sunday that their military groups have taken “more advantageous positions” in the vicinity of Sinkivka and Petropavlivka, in Kharkiv, in Grigorivka, Donetsk, and in Chervona Dibrova, Lugansk. Same advances that have occurred in Kleschivka, Andrivka and Krasnohirivka.
Beyond the improvement of its positions, the Russian command has also reported this Sunday that its planes They have destroyed Ukrainian hangars containing assault drones and warehouses containing air-deployed bombs. All of them were at Ukrainian airfields and were able to be reached thanks to artillery support.
