Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief names frontline areas where Russia concentrates its main efforts

Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi announced this.

"The Russian army is conducting active offensives of varying intensity along virtually the entire frontline, focusing its main efforts on the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions. Here, the Russians have concentrated the largest number of their assault units from eight strike brigades," the statement says.

According to the commander-in-chief, fighting also continues near Chasiv Yar, Klishchiivka, and Kalynivka. There, the Russian army is trying to capture settlements to expand the geography of its advance toward Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.

In addition, Russia is unsuccessfully storming Bilohorivka in the Luhansk region and is also rushing to Siversk from two directions.

In the Kharkiv sector, Russian troops are unsuccessfully trying to advance and create a so-called "security belt." And in the Zaporizhzhia sector, Russia is conducting offensive actions in the areas of Staromaiorske and Robotyne, but without any success. In the area of Krynky, fighting continued to hold the bridgehead and control the islands.

"In these conditions, it is very important for us to hold our lines and positions, prevent a breakthrough in the defense, and maximize the destruction of enemy manpower and equipment," emphasized Syrskyi.

• Over the past 24 hours, the Russian army lost at least 980 soldiers, 9 tanks, and 46 artillery systems in the war in Ukraine.
