The units are taking timely measures to maneuver to advantageous defensive positions, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine assured. The situation on the border of Sumy Oblast with Kursk Oblast of Russia is under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. This was written on Facebook by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrsky, while working in the operational zone of the Kursk group of troops on Monday, March 10. "There is no threat of encirclement of our units in the Kursk region yet. The units are taking timely measures to maneuver to advantageous defensive lines," he wrote. The commander-in-chief noted that a number of settlements along the border line, “whose names appear in the reports of Russian propagandists, no longer actually exist – they were destroyed by the firepower of the aggressor.” According to Syrsky, the enemy has brought a significant number of troops, reinforced by North Korean infantry, into the offensive. The enemy is suffering significant losses in manpower and equipment - in the Plekhovoy area alone, actual losses in four days of fighting amounted to a battalion of infantry. "Individual sabotage and reconnaissance groups and small infantry groups of the enemy, trying to penetrate into the territory of Ukraine, are destroyed by the firepower of our troops thanks to the previously created defense system," assured Syrsky. He added that he made a decision on the spot to strengthen the Ukrainian group with the necessary forces and means, in particular, electronic warfare and drones. Let us recall that in recent days the situation in Kursk region has significantly worsened. The enemy has regained control of a number of settlements and tried to reach Sudzha via a gas pipeline. Meanwhile, since the beginning of the current day, only two military clashes have occurred in the Kursk region. |
