The AFU commander-in-chief noted that the offensive actions of Russian troops have intensified after the presidential elections in Russia.

"The enemy is actively attacking our positions in the Liman, Bakhmut directions by assault groups supported by armored vehicles. In the Pokrovsky direction is trying to break through our defense using dozens of tanks and BMPs," Syrsky said.

As Syrsky noted, the issue of achieving technical superiority over the enemy in high-tech weapons has come up again.
