The Defense Forces explained why the enemy attacked Borova and whether he had any success

Rodion Kudryashov, deputy commander of the 3rd separate assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about the situation in this area on the air of the telethon.

The officer explained that since Borova is a logistics hub of the Defense Forces, the enemy wants to capture it, which will make it impossible for the Armed Forces to be present on this side of the Oskil River.

“Therefore, there is a fierce struggle for this village. All summer and autumn, the enemy tried to attack the front, that is, the line of responsibility of the 3rd OShBr. There was no success. And now he began to move along the flanks, where in some places he went to the river bank. And from those directions he will try to move to the settlement of Borov,” said Rodion Kudryashov.

According to him, this week the enemy resorted to many assaults, even in spite of unfavorable weather conditions.

“Used a large amount of equipment and a large number of infantry, all this accompanied by a large number of artillery strikes. The enemy tried to break through the front edge, tried to advance again towards the settlement of Borov. During this week, the enemy had no success and suffered heavy losses. And the 3rd OShBr replenished the exchange fund,” the Ukrainian defender noted.

He also added that at the moment there is at least one enemy division in front of only one battalion of the 3rd OShbr in the Kharkiv direction.

“This is three times more than the brigade in number. Therefore, the enemy has an advantage not only in the number of infantry, but also in the number of weapons. And even with such superior forces, the enemy did not achieve any success during this week, both on the line of the 3rd OShBr and on the line of adjacent brigades,” the officer summarized.

As ArmiyaInform reported, Russian troops are using improvised watercraft to cross Oskil.
