Ukrainian military responds to reports of possible troop encirclement near Uspenivka
The group announced this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.
"Currently, Ukrainian Armed Forces units conducting defensive operations in this sector of the front are valiantly repelling Russian assaults on the outskirts of Uspenivka, Hannivka, Trudove, and Romanivka. Necessary measures are being taken to prevent the capture or encirclement of these positions by the enemy," the post said.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are actively strengthening defensive actions across this and other sections of the front, the statement said.
"Verified and balanced information regarding combat operations and the operational situation on all front-line sectors is consistently shared through official Ukrainian Armed Forces channels, military correspondents, etc. Emotional interpretations or dissemination of unverified information that could inadvertently aid the enemy in escalating the situation are counterproductive and detrimental to our defensive efforts
Verified and balanced information about combat operations and the operational situation on each sector of the front is constantly provided through official information channels of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, military correspondents, etc. Any emotional interpretation or dissemination of such information, which could inadvertently aid the enemy in escalating the situation on a specific sector of the front, constitutes actions that benefit the enemy," the group said.
