Russians try to push Ukrainian troops in Serebryanske Forestry, Luhansk region – National Guard officer Doroshenko

He stated this on Espreso. 

"We are currently in the Serebryanske Forestry, working to fight the enemy. They are putting some pressure on us from the north, near Chervona Dibrova and Kuzmyne settlements. They use artillery and small groups of soldiers. It's tough, but we have control over the situation," explained a National Guard of Ukraine officer.

Oleksandr Doroshenko added that the enemy attacks the forest every day, not just our positions, but also with artillery, mortars, and tanks.

"The situation has been getting harder in the past few weeks, but we're holding our ground. First, the enemy uses artillery, and if they manage to take some positions, then groups of 10-15 soldiers try to capture our trenches. The enemy is quite close, about 50-80 meters away. Both sides are laying mines, so we're already having contact battles here," said Doroshenko.

• On July 26, Andriy Kanashevych, the head of the Kupyansk district military administration in the Kharkiv region, mentioned that the Russians are attacking from three directions, while our Armed Forces are defending their borders and inflicting significant losses on the enemy.

• As reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia lost 590 soldiers, 40 cruise missiles, and 11 armored combat vehicles during the day.
