Ukraine's Armed Forces have one task: to move the front line closer to the Dnipro river - Zgurets

He told it Espreso TV live on air. 

"There is firing of Russian objects. On the right bank of the Dnipro river, operate Ukrainian aircraft and UAVs. Russian air defense in this area is not effective. The Armed Forces of Ukraine use long-range weapons. The task for the Ukrainian military is to move the front line closer to the Dnipro river," Zgurets noted.

According to him, if it is possible to advance the front line, Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to use artillery, which will significantly affect the state of the Russian troops.

"Individual units of the Russian army are already refusing to fight. The right bank of the Dnipro river is the main focus of the entire community, but the liberation of it will not be quick. We must create conditions so that Russians leave Kherson, because fighting in the city is not our approach," - emphasized Zgurets.

• As of the morning of September 4, the Russians lost 2,049 tanks, 236 planes, 206 helicopters and about 49,500 of their troops killed during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

• In the Russian occupation unit in the south of Ukraine, the personnel rebelled and refused to participate in further hostilities.
