"The situation at the front has escalated. In an attempt to seize the strategic initiative and break through the front line, the enemy has focused its main efforts on several areas, creating a significant advantage in forces and means. He is actively attacking along the entire front line, and in some areas he is having tactical success. The situation is changing dynamically, some positions are changing hands several times during the day, which gives rise to an ambiguous understanding of the situation", the Commander-in-Chief noted.

Oleksandr Syrskyi calls the situation in the direction of Pokrovsk and Kurakhove in Donetsk region the most difficult.

He also confirms the retreat of Ukrainian defenders from the villages of Berdychi, Semenivka, Novomykhailivka.

"The most difficult situation is in the Pokrovske and Kurakhove directions, where fierce fighting continues. The enemy has deployed up to four brigades in these areas, trying to develop an offensive west of Avdiivka and Maryinka, making their way to Pokrovsk and Kurakhove. Ukrainian Defense Forces units have moved to new frontiers west of Berdychiv, Semenivka and Novomykhailivka, saving the lives and health of our defenders. Overall, the enemy achieved some tactical success in these areas, but failed to gain an operational advantage. Ukrainian troops are inflicting maximum losses on the enemy, both in personnel and military equipment. In order to strengthen the defense in these areas, replace the units that suffered losses, we are moving brigades that have regained combat capability", explains Syrskyi.
