Over the past week, the criminal army of the Russian Federation has been making efforts to increase the number of attacks and increase pressure on the positions of the Ukrainian military, but to no avail.
What Estonian intelligence says about the situation on the frontline in Ukraine
According to the head of the Estonian Military Intelligence Centre, Ants Kiviselg, this week the criminal army of the Russian Federation has further increased pressure on the positions of the Ukrainian military, and the situation is becoming increasingly difficult, but the Ukrainian military is now fully capable of withstanding enemy pressure.
The intensity of hostilities in Ukraine has increased by about a quarter compared to the previous week, Kiviselg emphasised.
According to him, the criminal army of the Russian Federation is trying to regain the initiative in all areas of the front, but no serious changes are observed along the front line.
What is known about the losses of the Russian army over the week
Kiviselg also stressed that over the past week alone, the Russian occupiers have lost about 10,000 soldiers in Ukraine in killed and wounded.
Military criminals of the Russian army are conducting key offensive operations near the town of Avdiivka in the Donetsk region.
The head of the Estonian Military Intelligence Center noted that the occupying Russian army switched from frontal infantry attacks to long-range shelling near Avdiivka.
Estonian intelligence notes that such hostile actions have significantly complicated the process of regrouping the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as the work on creating and strengthening new defensive positions.
Kiviselg also warned that currently the occupying Russian army in Ukraine is once again regrouping, which may indicate preparations for larger-scale offensive actions.
He also denied claims that Russian war criminals had allegedly breached the defences of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to him, the Ukrainian military continues to hold two footholds on the left bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson region, which forced the Russian command to deploy additional forces in this area.
This, in particular, led to the fact that due to poor coordination, Russian units suffered additional losses in new areas of combat, such as minefields laid by the occupiers themselves.
