In eastern Ukraine, Russia has increased the intensity of its attacks by 30%. Over the past day, there have been 23 combat clashes, and Russia has suffered significant losses in personnel and equipment, according to Captain Hryhorii Shapoval, spokesperson for the East group of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Over the past day, there were 23 combat clashes in our areas. Russia suffered significant losses, 555 Russian personnel were irretrievably destroyed, and Russian equipment and electronic warfare means were also damaged," he says.
Shapoval says that Russia is trying to enter the territory controlled by the Ukrainian military in small assault groups of 4-6 people, who arrive on light motorized transport, and then try to gather and carry out assaults in groups of 25-30 people.
He also notes that the intensity of Russian attacks has recently increased by 30%, which is explained by weather conditions - rain and fog.
Thus, as Shapoval sums up, Russia is trying to sneak in unnoticed, but is failing.
Situation on the front
