The plans of the Russian occupiers are unchanged - the enemy wants to push the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine beyond the borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and reach the administrative borders of these regions.
This was announced by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky.
The commander-in-chief said that he served in the operational zone of the Donetsk Military District:
"Over the course of three days, I visited virtually all the brigades of this most powerful grouping of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, which bears the main burden of countering the enemy's spring offensive and destroying its best forces and means. In particular, in the Pokrovsky direction, our soldiers stop about 30 enemy assault actions every day, inflicting significant losses on the Russian occupiers."
Syrsky also listened to reports from the commander of the operational-tactical group, Brigadier General Oleksandr Tarnavsky, worked with brigade commanders at their command posts, and resolved problematic issues on the ground regarding the organization of combat operations, provision of ammunition and logistical means.
He paid special attention to the preparation and support of combat operations of each combat unit and assault group.
"This should be a constant object of control of the brigade commander and the direct responsibility of the battalion commander. He gave the necessary orders to resolve problematic issues and meet existing needs."
Regarding the enemy's intentions, he says:
"The enemy has not changed its plans - to push units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine beyond the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and reach the administrative borders of these regions. However, the enemy's plan remains unrealized."
Ukrainian defenders continue the defensive operation, conduct counteroffensive actions, and, according to Commander-in-Chief Syrsky, we can speak of certain successes:
"In recent weeks, about 16 square kilometers of territory have been liberated in the area of the settlements of Udachne, Kotlyne, and Shevchenko."
