The situation in the area controlled by the Joint Forces Task Force remains intense, with the enemy pressing forward in the Lyman and Kupiansk sectors.
According to Ukrinform, Viktor Tregubov, head of the communications department of the Joint Forces Task Force, stated this on television.
“Overall, the situation is intense right now. The Russians’ main areas of focus in our area of control remain the same—first and foremost, the Lyman sector, and secondly, the Kupiansk sector. The Russians are also continuing their attempts to establish a zone of control along the entire Ukrainian-Russian border, to the extent that there are certain new sectors where they are trying to push forward. “Right now, the area near Kozacha Lopan is of particular concern, as they are trying to infiltrate there,” Tregubov noted, adding that the enemy has a numerical advantage, as well as sufficient reserves and ammunition to advance aggressively.
The spokesperson assured that the Defense Forces are holding back the enemy thanks to well-equipped positions, a drone network, and an effectively organized perimeter. He also confirmed that the enemy continues to employ tactics involving small infantry groups and is increasing its use of guided munitions.
