In the area of responsibility of the Joint Forces Group, Russian forces are currently concentrating their main efforts on the Lyman axis.
This was stated on television by Viktor Trehubov, Head of the Communications Department of the Joint Forces Group.
“The Lyman direction is currently the main focus of Russian efforts. It remains critically important for them. They are determined to seize it in order to further develop their offensive toward the Sloviansk–Kramatorsk urban agglomeration, which is why it is their top priority,” Trehubov said.
He emphasized that the Russian forces continues to use tactics involving small assault groups, constant infiltration, and the creation of additional areas of control along the frontline.
According to the spokesperson, Russian forces are not facing significant resource shortages and are therefore maintaining pressure across almost the entire front line.
“At the same time, the enemy is suffering truly record losses. This is not just a figure of speech — for example, there were 270 casualties per day this week in the operational zone, the majority of them fatalities. This is an extremely high figure, numbers we have never seen before,” Trehubov stressed.
