The commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, warns about the preparation of the Russian army units for the resumption of offensive operations in the north of Ukraine.
The enemy can resume the offensive in the Siversk direction
Colonel General Syrskyi analysed the situation in the northern and eastern directions of the Russo-Ukrainian front.
The Ground Forces Commander reported this on his Telegram channel.
According to Syrskyi, the enemy moves "Storm" units and forms assault companies.
The Commander also said that the operational situation in the East remains difficult. The enemy continues offensive operations in the Kupiansk, Lyman and Bakhmut directions.
In particular, the occupiers do not stop trying to dislodge Ukrainian units from the Kupiansk forest and seize Synkivka, aiming to block Kupiansk.
In the Lyman direction, the enemy is conducting offensive actions with the aim of displacing Ukrainian troops beyond the Chornyy Zherebets River. Conducts intensive artillery fire. In addition, it moves additional assault companies from the territory of the Russian Federation to this area and conducts training of new assault units in base camps. It is also trying to clear the demining routes, says Syrskyi.
Serebryansk forestry continues to remain one of the areas where the enemy's primary efforts are concentrated. In this direction, unsuccessful attempts are being made to attack Ukrainian positions with the support of armoured vehicles in the directions of Dibrova, Torske, Dibrova, and Yampil.
In the Bakhmut region, the occupiers are making every effort to cross the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas channel. From the north of Bakhmut, the enemy is carrying out assaults in the direction of Bohdanivka. It is trying to create favorable conditions for the offensive on Chasiv Yar and to restore the lost position in the areas of the cascade of lakes east of Klishchiivka and Kurdiumivka, for which it involves units of airborne troops and motorised rifle units from the Northern Fleet, the Commander said.
At the same time, Syrskyi notes, despite the large-scale offensive actions of the enemy, Ukrainian soldiers in all directions "firmly hold the defensive lines and inflict significant losses on the enemy."
Our commanders make all the necessary decisions in time, with the goal of effectively destroying the enemy's personnel and preserving the lives of our soldiers.
