Situation on the front line
Recall that, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian troops have reduced the intensity of combat operations over the past two days, but this does not indicate a change in their intentions.
The Russian General Staff continues to focus on occupying Donbas and increasing activity in other directions.
At the same time, occupying forces maintain pressure on the Sumy and Kharkiv directions, continuing attempts to advance toward Kupiansk and create a so-called "control zone" in border areas.
Earlier, Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) reported that Russia is preparing a new offensive in southeastern Ukraine, involving strategic reserves, with plans to deploy an additional 20,000 servicemen.
The Center for Countering Disinformation also reported that the Kremlin is considering at least three scenarios for the war in Ukraine, ranging from continuing hostilities to freezing the conflict and conducting hybrid aggression against NATO countries.
Meanwhile, Deputy Head of the Presidential Office and Brigadier General Pavlo Palisa noted that Russian losses in Donbas have tripled, while advances remain minimal.
