Active hostilities in the direction began at the beginning of October and continue to this day. Only during the past day at the front, the Defense Forces repelled 9 enemy attacks near Sinkivka in Kharkiv Oblast.
The Russian army intensified its offensive in the Kharkiv region
The Russian military plans to capture Synkivka in the Kharkiv region for a further offensive on Kupyansk, to use it as a springboard for a different offensive to the west
The Ukrainian Ground Forces Command public relations service chief, Volodymyr Fityo, stated this on the telethon air.
According to him, active military operations in the direction began at the beginning of October and continue to this day. Only during the past day at the front the Defense Forces repelled nine enemy attacks near Synkivka, where the enemy plans to seize for a further offensive on Kupyansk. It may become a springboard for an offensive to the west.
In addition, we see that the enemy is now transferring the reserves of assault battalions there and is thus trying to compensate for the losses it will suffer. The losses there are serious enough, Fityo noted.
During the past day, December 15, the enemy:
Used two kamikaze drones;
Carried out 258 attacks.
The Armed Forces continue to reduce the population of Russian terrorists in the territory of Ukraine. In particular, 258 Russians were killed, and 14 units of enemy military equipment were destroyed, including three tanks. On Thursday, December 14, the Armed Forces destroyed nine tanks and 10 ACVs.
The enemy actively uses both equipment and human resources for the offensive. Of course, technology is more protected, and human resources do not play a role for them. They throw people on assaults, combat reconnaissance, and just meat assaults, not counting losses, Volodymyr Fityo concluded.
The Russian army went on the offensive in Makiivka and Terny
The head of the Luhansk RMA, Artem Lysogor, noted that despite the challenging weather conditions, the Defense Forces repulsed enemy attacks and Russian assaults.
Yesterday, the occupiers moved towards Donetsk's Terny, which is not far from Nevske, and also tried to attack Makiivka. All these efforts ended in vain for the enemy. At the same time, the use of aviation and drones is again complicated due to bad weather. Last day, the enemy used them once, Lysohor informed.
He noted that the Russian occupiers once again fired mortars and artillery at Nevske, Bilogorivka and the territory of Serebryansk Forest.
