“The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said that the front line is now 1,218 kilometers long, and it has decreased by 35 kilometers in a month. He announced this during a meeting with heads of Ukrainian media. According to Sirskyi, the rate of enemy advance in some areas is 1.5-4.5 km per month, for example, in the Pokrovsky direction – 1.5 km per month. With daily losses of more than a thousand Russian soldiers, such an advance is worthless, according to Syrskyi. He noted that in November, the losses of the enemy caused by Ukrainian unmanned systems amounted to about 24,000 people – this is a record figure.”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
