What's happening at the front — Syrsky's report
As the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted, in April the most difficult situation remains in the Oleksandrivske, Pokrovsk, Kostyantynivske and Lymanske directions.
The main goal for the Ukrainian Defense Forces at the moment is to seize the strategic initiative, which is why they are on active defense.
Thus, over the past month, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were able to regain control over almost 50 sq. km. of territory that had been captured by the enemy the day before.
We are countering Russian numbers with Ukrainian quality of combat operations, forcing the enemy to play by our rules and constantly postponing the deadlines for completing tasks. In order to reduce the enemy's offensive capabilities, we are maintaining a high intensity of damage to military, defense-industrial and other facilities on the territory of Russia that support the actions of the occupiers.
