He stated this in an interview with Espreso.  

"In the area of the settlement Dvorichna in the Kupiansk direction, the situation is indeed very threatening. Intense combat operations are ongoing. The command and all the brigades working there understand the complexity and importance of the situation. Therefore, all possible actions are being taken to prevent the Russian's advance and to drive the occupying Russian army out of the right bank of the Oskil River," Malyarevych said.  

According to the deputy commander of the UAV Regiment "Achilles," the Russian troops are constantly trying to cross the Oskil River using rafts and boats to transport weapons and personnel for attacks on Ukrainian positions.  

"Currently, the Russian army has not yet built pontoon crossings over the Oskil River. In the area of Dvorichna, mostly infantry units of the Russians are operating. They are crossing the river using rafts and boats. They use these boats and rafts solely to transport weapons, personnel, and to conduct evacuation operations. They have not yet been able to transport equipment across the river. However, they are working on building pontoon crossings, and this must not be allowed," Malyarevych emphasized.

  • On the night February 10, Russian forces launched an airstrike on Kramatorsk, Donetsk region. One person was killed, and several others were injured.
