According to him, thanks to FPV drones and artillery, the Ukrainian military works effectively against the invaders. In particular, when the enemy transports infantry with vehicles.
Reserves have been tightened. Indeed, such effective combat units are now near Vovchansk and are holding this direction. But yes, some infantry groups did enter the city.
As the spokesman of the Ministry of Defence noted, today the head of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, reported on the situation to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Syrskyi is in the combat brigades, the direction is currently headed by Brigadier General Mykhailo Drapaty.
Therefore, combat work continues. It is clear that the situation is not easy, that the tension remains. There is a tendency towards stabilisation, but still heavy fighting continues. The enemy is trying to stretch the front, tie up our forces somewhere. Indeed, our task is to destroy the occupier. And this is done in large quantities. The occupiers die on the approaches to Vovchansk, its surroundings and in the city itself as well.
