Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:

The situation at the front remains tense.

The enemy is actively attacking our units in several directions with the aim of advancing deep into the territory of our state.

The units of the Defense Forces are fighting fierce defensive battles, the attempts of the Russian invaders to break through our defenses have been stopped. Our intelligence, artillery, units of unmanned systems are working.
We know the enemy's plans and react flexibly to all his actions. To strengthen the defense, all necessary measures are taken and decisions, including personnel, are promptly made.

This week, the situation in Kharkiv Oblast has significantly worsened. Currently, there are ongoing battles in the border areas along the state border with the Russian Federation.

The situation is difficult, but the Defense Forces of Ukraine are doing everything to hold defensive lines and positions, inflict damage on the enemy.

In the Kupyansk, Siversk, Lymansk, Pokrovsky directions, fierce battles continue, the situation is changing very dynamically. In some areas, the enemy has partial success, in others - the Defense Forces push the enemy and improve their tactical position.

In the Kramatorsk direction, the enemy does not stop trying to take possession of the city of Chasiv Yar, continues offensive actions east of the city. Unsuccessfully tries to restore the lost position in the Klishchiivka area.
Despite the difficult situation at the front, units are being rotated for the rest of the servicemen and the restoration of the fighting capacity of the brigades.

Together to victory!
Glory to Ukraine!
