“The situation remains tense in the area of responsibility of the Khortytsia OSGF, but it is controlled by the Defense Forces. Fighting continues in almost all sections of the frontline, the situation is changing dynamically. The enemy is concentrating its offensive actions of varying intensity along the entire frontline. It is focusing its main efforts on the Pokrovsk, Kurakhove and Vremivsk directions. However, the Defense Forces are also focusing on preventing the enemy from advancing deep into the territory of our country,” Voloshyn said.
According to him, 180 combat engagements took place in the area of responsibility of the Khortytsia Joint Forces Operation over the last day, most of the attacks took place in the Kupiansk, Pokrovsk, Kurakhove and Vremivsk directions.

“The enemy is trying to put pressure on our Defense Forces. The concentration of the enemy’s reserves of personnel and equipment is observed at the Kupiansk, Pokrovsk, Kurakhove and Vremivsk directions. The Russian military command is forced to use a significant part of its strategic reserves, which it has accumulated over the course of this year, to seize territories,” said the spokesman.
He noted that according to available information, the military of the Russian frontline units complain about poor logistics, primarily the lack of ammunition, food, water and warm clothes, as well as the quality of North Korean ammunition.
