The operational situation in the East remains difficult. The enemy does not stop conducting offensive operations along the entire front.

Together with the commanders holding the defense in the Eastern direction, we analyzed the situation in detail and considered options for further actions.

We jointly made the necessary decisions and took measures to ensure the stability of our defense, the preservation of the lives of our soldiers and the rational use of ammunition.
