The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Oleksandr Syrskyi and the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umyerov visited the forward command posts of the military at the front to assess the situation and discuss further steps to ensure the country's security.
As RBC-Ukraine reports with reference to the Telegram channel of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, during the visit, representatives of the military leadership listened to the reports of the commanders of the army groups regarding the situation in the areas of responsibility. Syrsky emphasized that the situation is complex in many directions and requires constant control, as the enemy is trying to carry out regular assaults on the positions of Ukrainian troops.
According to the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces , together with the commanders, a thorough analysis of the situation was conducted and future steps were discussed, in particular, regarding the potential of maneuverable and positional defense, as well as the strengthening of individual areas.
Syrskyi also emphasized the importance of coordination and proper operational interaction of all Defense Forces to preserve the lives of servicemen.
During the meeting with the commanders of brigades and individual battalions, problems that are not of a systemic nature were analyzed and decisions were made to improve combat capability, stability and management. Despite the difficult situation, Ukrainian soldiers bravely hold the lines and positions, inflicting irreparable losses on the enemy.
As of February 20, according to Deep State data, the Russian invaders, after capturing the city of Avdiyivka in the Donetsk region, moved west and came close to the village of Lastochkine. This indicates the continuation of active hostilities in the east of Ukraine and the need to strengthen defensive measures at the front.
