straight language: “The enemy has not completely achieved the result. He controls about half of the city. But he cannot just enter the city calmly.
Advertising:
Because all approaches to it are under our control, under the control of the action of our drones. We also have concentrated a significant amount of forces and means, units of unmanned forces and drone brigades and regiments that conduct defense there.”
Details: According to the commander-in-chief, the Russian Federation now uses almost 50% of all anti-aircraft missile strikes in this direction, trying to destroy buildings, especially high-rises, where operators can be housed, and used for firing, and long-range weapons and snipers can be placed.
straight language: “All those calls that “everything is lost”, “we need to get out, save”, “this is stupid”… The question: where to leave? Go to a clear field, and then retreat, look for the next city, these settlements, which will also be leveled. It is difficult to destroy such an agglomeration.”
Details: Syrskyi added that the Russians cannot advance as they would like.
straight language: “Currently, in fact, all the enemy’s attempts to advance – and he is trying every day both in Pokrovsk, and around, and in the direction of Hryshyn, and in the area of Myrnograd – are unsuccessful. There are losses, but no successes.”
