The aggressor country russia, in addition to its plans to seize as much Ukrainian territory as possible, wants to create a "buffer zone" in the Dnipropetrovsk Region. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi has announced this on his Telegram channel.
"Russian troops do not refuse to continue offensive actions, they are regrouping their available forces and means. The goal of the invaders, despite significant losses in personnel and military equipment, is to seize more Ukrainian territory and create a "buffer zone" in the Dnipropetrovsk Region," he wrote.
According to Syrskyi, the Defense Forces are consistently and steadily conducting active defense, "inflicting significant fire damage on the occupiers, destroying enemy personnel, weapons and military equipment."
What is the situation in other areas?
The Commander-in-Chief noted that he regularly works in the hottest areas of the frontline.
"In the Oleksandrivka sector, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have been conducting offensive actions since the end of January. In the course of this operation, control over 480 square kilometers of territory, eight settlements in the Dnipropetrovsk Region and four in the Zaporizhzhia Region was regained," he wrote.
In the Oleksandrivka sector, the enemy is attacking in the areas of Ternove, Oleksandohrad, Ivanivka, Zelenyi Hai, Andriivka-Klevtsove, Sichneve and towards Sosnivka, Verbove and Zlahoda. A total of 64 enemy attacks were registered in the sector over the last week.
