The Ukrainian defense forces have eliminated over 4,000 Russians in the last two weeks along the Kupiansk-Bakhmut route, reports Oleksander Syrskii, Commander of the Army of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The enemy has intensified its actions in the Kupiansk and Bakhmut directions
"The enemy does not abandon its plans and continues offensive actions simultaneously on several eastern fronts. In particular, despite significant losses, the Russians are attacking our units defending in the Kupiansk area," the message reads.
Syrskii notes that the enemy has increased the use of kamikaze drones. Russian forces to the north and south of Bakhmut are attempting to regain the initiative by launching counterattacks.
However, according to the commander, Ukrainian defenders are disrupting all plans and attempts by the occupiers to seize our land.
