The General Staff of Estonia named the key direction of the Russian army's offensive in Ukraine
According to the representatives of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Estonia, the key areas of attack of the occupation army of the Russian Federation in Ukraine remain the regions of Bakhmut and Avdiivka in the Donetsk region.
The General Staff of the Estonian Army notes that the Russian occupiers are currently continuing their attempts to surround the units of the Ukrainian army in the town of Chasiv Yar near Bakhmut in the Donetsk region.
According to estimates of the Estonian military, the criminal army of Russia has concentrated up to 20,000 soldiers in this direction.
At the same time, representatives of the General Staff of the Estonian Army emphasise the decrease in the intensity of hostilities in the southern direction.
The Estonian military does not observe significant changes in the front line in the Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions.
The Armed Forces continue to hold a bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro river.
The General Staff of Estonia also confirmed the creation of a group of troops in the north by the criminal army of Russia.
However, according to estimates of the Estonian military, its number will not be enough to capture Kharkiv or Sumy.
However, this does not exclude small-scale attacks or attempts to take control of these settlements, warns the General Staff of Estonia.
The Estonian military warned that in order to achieve its own goals, Russia will exert moral pressure and try to increase the war fatigue of Ukrainians and Western partners.
