Our source in the General Staff said that the Russian army is now trying to stretch the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along the entire front line, while destroying our heavy equipment. Such a strategy is designed for a long time and does not aim at quick breakthroughs at the front, the enemy wants to exhaust our army, and then move on to the next stage.
Russian troops do not stop attacking Ukrainian positions along almost the entire front line. During the last reporting period, the total number of offensive and assault actions by enemy forces increased to 99.
Information about this came from the General Staff. The most active clashes are recorded in the Kupyan, Pokrovsky and Kurakhiv directions.
At the same time, the defense forces of Ukraine are taking all possible measures to exhaust the offensive potential of the Russian troops, as well as to repel attacks and neutralize their equipment.
The General Staff also reported four terrorist attacks by rockets and guided aerial bombs on Kharkiv during the day. Rockets were fired at the central park and residential areas, and two guided aerial bombs hit a hypermarket.
In total, the enemy used three missile strikes and two guided aerial bombs. Unfortunately, there are casualties among the civilian population, as well as wounded and missing.
