Russia has stepped up the use of armored vehicles in the Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka sectors
Following the end of winter, Russian troops have stepped up their use of armored vehicles in the Lyman, Pokrovsk, and Kostiantynivka sectors.
This was reported by Andriy Demchenko, spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, during a live broadcast.
“After winter ended, our reconnaissance UAV units along the front line in the Lyman, Pokrovsk, and Kostiantynivka sectors detected the enemy’s use of armored vehicles and other transport to build on their gains. The enemy is either probing our defenses or attempting to regroup and build up forces in order to continue its offensive operations,” Demchenko said.
At the same time, he noted that no heavy armored vehicles have been observed along the border with Russia.
“We have not yet observed the use of armored vehicles along the border with the terrorist state. We note that the enemy is regrouping. As of now, there is no buildup of equipment near our border or formation of large strike groups,” the spokesperson added.
Russian authorities have already begun preparing the public for a possible failure of the spring offensive in eastern Ukraine. This is reported by ISW analysts. Despite the fact that offensive operations are already underway, significant losses are forcing the Kremlin to formulate explanations in advance in case of failure. In particular, narratives are being promoted in the public sphere that could justify the lack of results.
The Kremlin has commented on upcoming talks in the U.S. without Russia’s participation.
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has already stated that the trilateral negotiation process between Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia is currently on hold. According to him, consultations are temporarily suspended.
The Kremlin rudely rejected France’s proposal to involve the EU in peace talks.
The process of U.S. mediation in resolving the war between Russia and Ukraine is under threat due to Donald Trump’s loss of interest in the talks and the escalation of the situation in the Middle East.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated the need for a personal meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump due to a number of critical issues that require urgent progress.
