Russian forces have intensified their offensive across the entire front line — Syrsky
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrskyi reported that despite the intensification of enemy offensive operations along the entire front line, Ukrainian defenders managed to seize the initiative in certain areas.
Thanks to an active defense strategy throughout March, the Armed Forces regained control of nearly 50 square kilometers of territory previously occupied by Russian forces.
Currently, combat operations are ongoing across a vast 1,200-kilometer stretch, where the enemy is attempting to exploit changing weather conditions to advance.
The heaviest fighting is taking place in the Oleksandrivka, Pokrovsk, Kostiantynivka, and Lyman sectors, which remain the most critical points of the conflict.
“The Oleksandrivka, Pokrovsk, Kostiantynivka, and Lyman sectors were the hottest over the past month. We must seize the strategic initiative, so we are conducting active defense,” emphasized the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Ukraine counters the enemy’s numerical superiority with the quality of its operations, forcing the aggressor to constantly postpone the implementation of its plans.
Strikes deep into Russian territory using Deep Strike capabilities have become a key part of the strategy, aimed at reducing the occupiers’ offensive potential.
In March alone, 76 strategic targets were successfully struck, including 15 oil refining facilities that supplied fuel to enemy equipment.
Oleksandr Syrskyi paid special attention to the construction of fortifications and engineering barriers to protect personnel.
In the context of the modern “drone war,” the construction of sunken roads for the movement of equipment is becoming a new standard, which the Airborne Assault Forces are already successfully implementing.

Additionally, on the morning of April 15, Ukrainian “Luty” strike drones attacked a petrochemical plant in the city of Sterlitamak, located in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russian Federation.
In Sterlitamak, Bashkortostan—one of the centers of the Russian Federation’s chemical and petrochemical industries—an attack was recorded on facilities that may be linked to the production of components for military equipment.
