"The issue of achieving technical superiority over the enemy in high-tech weapons has again arisen. Only this will enable us to defeat a larger enemy and create conditions for seizing the strategic initiative," Oleksandr Syrsky stated. / Photo: AA Archive"The situation on the eastern front has deteriorated significantly in recent days" in the face of a heightened Russia n offensive, Ukraine's commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky has said.
"The enemy is actively attacking our positions in the Lyman and Bakhmut sectors with assault groups supported by armoured vehicles. In the Pokrovsk sector, they are trying to break through our defence using dozens of tanks and armoured personnel carriers".
