Syrskyi after trip to east: Active front line has grown, Toretsk direction added
According to Ukrinform, Syrskyi posted this on Facebook.
According to him, he "worked for a week on the Eastern Front. I visited almost all the brigades of Pokrovske, Kurakhiv, Vremivsk, Toretsk, Kramatorsk directions, as well as those fighting in Vovchansk and near Kharkiv."
Syrskyi expressed his "gratitude to the soldiers, sergeants and junior officers who bear almost the entire burden of active combat."
"Fierce fighting of varying intensity continues everywhere. Compared to the previous trip two weeks ago, the Toretsk sector has been added, where the soldiers of the 95th Air Assault Brigade are heroically reducing the number of enemy hordes every day," the Commander-in-Chief noted.
He noted that the situation remains difficult in the Pokrovske sector, where the Russians, aiming to break through the Ukrainian defense, once again replaced the strike units whose assault units completely lost their combat capability and continued their offensive.
Also, despite the high losses in armored vehicles, Russian troops continue to use them in combination with intense artillery fire and fpv drone strikes.
Syrskyi emphasized that despite the reinforcement of Ukrainian units with reserves, this area requires constant attention and additional ammunition and firepower.
"In other areas, the intensity of hostilities decreased, while the active frontline increased," added Syrskyi.
He noted that the purpose of his "work, as before, is to study the situation directly in the combat areas, to promptly resolve problematic issues without bureaucratic procedures, to study the combat experience of our troops and implement it in the training of servicemen and units, as well as to provide effective assistance to commanders in planning and conducting combat operations."
According to him, "currently, the main problematic issue for commanders of any level is manning units and subunits with motivated, well-trained servicemen. Another problematic issue is the provision of modern electronic warfare and military air defense equipment capable of effectively fighting enemy UAVs."
"At the same time, we have an advantage in the number and quality of combat copters, primarily bombers and FPV drones, and the skill of the operators who use them. This is the key to our success and saving the lives of our soldiers," emphasized Syrskyi.
The Commander-in-Chief informed that "upon arrival, we started implementing proposals to improve the tactical medicine system and its integration into the Medical Forces vertical, which will provide certain advantages in the efficiency and quality of medical care. Another important area of change is the adaptation of the basic training program for military personnel to operate in the conditions of complete dominance of drones on the battlefield."
"Another meeting is also planned with the commanders of UAV units to exchange experience on the use and further development of this promising type of weapon," the commander-in-chief added.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, since the beginning of the day, the Defense Forces have already completed more than 410 fire missions in the eastern sector.
