The Russian army intensified its offensive in the Kharkiv region
Russian military plans to capture Synkivka in the Kharkiv region for further offensive on Kupyansk to use it as a foothold for further offensive to the west.
Volodymyr Fitio, the head of the public relations service of the command of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this during the telethon.
According to him, active hostilities in this area began in early October and continue to this day. Over the past day alone, Ukrainian defence forces repelled nine enemy attacks near Synkivka, which the enemy plans to capture for a further offensive on Kupyansk, which in turn could become a foothold for an offensive to the west.
In addition, we see that the enemy is now moving reserves of assault battalions there and thus trying to compensate for the losses it will suffer. The losses there are quite serious, said Fitio.
During the past day, December 15, the enemy:
used 2 kamikaze drones;
carried out 258 attacks.
The Armed Forces continue to reduce the number of Russian terrorists on the territory of Ukraine. In particular, 258 Russians and 14 pieces of enemy military equipment, including 3 tanks, were destroyed. On Thursday, 14 December, the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed 9 tanks and 10 armoured personnel carrier vehicles.
The enemy is actively using both equipment and human resources for the offensive. Of course, equipment is more protected, and human resources do not play a role for them. They throw people into assaults, combat reconnaissance and use them in 'meat assault' tactics, without regard to losses, summed up Volodymyr Fitio.
