“The situation in the direction is really difficult, but there is no encirclement, communication is maintained with our soldiers, logistics are established, the wounded are being evacuated. The information about the so-called blocking squads blocking our units is even more untrue. On the contrary, the assault units are thrown to reinforce them and help hold the defense,” the message reads.
The command stated that in the south of Ukraine, Russian troops are conducting active assault operations, increasing the number of artillery fire and the use of kamikaze drones. “Yes, in the past day alone, more than three dozen assaults, more than half a thousand artillery strikes using more than 2,100 munitions, a dozen airstrikes, 250 drops from UAVs, attacks by almost 2,000 kamikaze drones have been recorded,” they noted there.
The Defense Forces of the South noted that the Kremlin “manipulates the mood of Ukrainian society” and “specially exaggerates its so-called successes and hyperbolically emphasizes the problems in the Defense Forces of Ukraine, dispersing panic among Ukrainians and inciting reckless actions.”
The command urged not to spread such narratives.
“The military command promptly responds to any changes in the situation and always makes balanced decisions: if resources are available – to maintain the defense and defend Ukrainian territory, if there are none – to save the lives of personnel by taking them to more profitable frontiers… The appropriateness of one or another decision can be determined only by those who have sufficient data on the operational situation at the front”, – the message emphasizes.
