He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"The situation in the Kurakhove sector remains challenging, with intense combat clashes occurring both mechanized and on foot. The enemy persists in its attempts to advance. We are engaged in a complex defensive operation and continue to repel attacks using all available means," stated the acting press officer of the 33rd Brigade.

He noted that the invading Russian forces possess extensive manpower, substantial equipment, and a large supply of ammunition, which their command is leveraging to push forward with their objectives.

"We are specifically deploying our Leopard tanks to dismantle enemy dugouts, fortified positions, and any locations the enemy has managed to occupy. Artillery is also actively engaged, while our infantry works tirelessly to prevent the occupiers from advancing with their ambitious plans. The enemy is highly aggressive, and it's crucial to acknowledge and understand this. We are doing everything possible to keep Kurakhove secure and stop Russian forces from advancing," summarized Nazar Voitenkov.

• The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that Russian troops attacked the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces 169 times over the course of November 3. Russia is most active in the Kurakhove and Pokrovsk directions.
