Ukraine's commander-in-chief: Russia continues attacks on Oleksandrivka front but makes no progress

The Ukrainian commander-in-chief reports ongoing Russian attacks on the Oleksandrivka front with no significant gains for Russia.

Oleksandr Syrskyi, the Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces, has reported that Russian military operations on the Oleksandrivka front have failed to make significant advances. Despite ongoing assaults from Russian forces, Ukrainian troops are actively conducting counterattacks in the same region and near Huliaipole, demonstrating resilience and operational effectiveness. Syrskyi highlighted the strategic importance of maintaining defensive positions and the challenges that Russian forces face in their attempts to breach Ukrainian defenses.

During his recent visits to the command posts of brigades and regiments involved in the conflict, Syrskyi provided insights into the situation on the ground. He noted that Russian forces continue to deploy various military assets in their offensive efforts but are experiencing high attrition rates and are unable to achieve notable breakthroughs. The reported strategy reflects a commitment to exhausting Russian resources while maintaining effective defensive and offensive maneuvers.

Additionally, Syrskyi emphasized the ongoing importance of territorial integrity and the need for liberated areas to be secured. While the broader context of the conflict remains tense, the inability of Russian forces to gain ground at crucial fronts signifies potential strategic setbacks for them. Syrskyi's statements reinforce the commitment of the Ukrainian armed forces to protect their sovereignty and engage effectively against invading forces.
