Oleksandr Syrsky draws attention to the fact that the current year was difficult for Ukraine, but it did not give up and persevered.
As is known, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to maintain control over strategically important areas, over the western part of the Black Sea.
We are reducing the enemy's military and industrial potential, including with DeepStrike means. We are destroying the aggressor by all possible means. Thus, since the beginning of 2024, the total losses of the occupiers involved in the offensive have already exceeded 421 thousand people killed and wounded. That is, this year the Russians paid the highest price since the beginning of their invasion of Ukraine.
