Syryskyi Revealed Russia's New Plans for an Offensive in Ukraine
The Russian army has not abandoned its plans to expand its offensive operations and intends to intensify its attacks in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. In addition, the occupiers are seeking to create a so-called “buffer zone” in northern Ukraine, despite the fact that their previous offensive plans did not yield the expected results.
Syrsky noted that the enemy must not be underestimated. A turning point in the war is still a long way off.
“The aggressor has not abandoned its plans for the complete occupation of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, seeks to expand its offensive operations in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, and aims to create and expand a ‘buffer zone’ in the northern regions of Ukraine,” the commander-in-chief said.
According to him, the intensity of missile and drone strikes, the use of guided aerial bombs, and the number of crimes against the civilian population are on the rise.
"That is precisely why the Armed Forces of Ukraine are consistently building up their capabilities to give the enemy a fitting rebuff and ultimately force the Kremlin to accept a just peace on our terms," Syrskyi added.
This was reported with reference to a Telegram post by Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Syrskyi summarized the results of the first half of the year on the front lines.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian defense forces eliminated 1,460 Russian soldiers. The enemy also suffered losses in military equipment and weapons, which Ukrainian defenders continue to destroy across various sectors of the front.
