Chief of Staff Syrskyi:
"The situation on the Eastern Front has significantly worsened in recent days. This is primarily due to the significant intensification of the enemy's offensive actions after the presidential elections in the Russian Federation.
The enemy is actively attacking our positions in the Lymansky, Bakhmutsky directions with assault groups with the support of armored vehicles. In the Pokrovsky direction, he is trying to break through our defenses using dozens of tanks and BMPs.
This is facilitated by warm, dry weather, which has made most of the open areas of the terrain accessible to tanks. Despite significant losses, the enemy is increasing its efforts by using new units on armored vehicles, thanks to which it periodically achieves tactical success.
Therefore, the first day of my work in the area of the operation is dedicated to this direction and to taking all the necessary measures to stabilize the situation, increase the effectiveness of our troops' actions, and inflict maximum losses on enemy units.
Based on the results of listening to the conclusions regarding the nature of the enemy's actions, decisions were made aimed at strengthening the most problematic areas of the defense by means of EW and air defense. Also, stocks of drones of all types, anti-tank missiles were replenished, additional reserves of forces and means were moved.
The question of achieving technical superiority over the enemy in high-tech weapons arose again.
Only this will give us the opportunity to defeat the larger enemy and create conditions for intercepting the strategic initiative.
The second serious problem is to improve the quality of training of military personnel, primarily infantry units, so that they can make maximum use of all the capabilities of military equipment and Western weapons.
First of all, the solution of this task depends on the command of the Ground Forces, which has returned in full from the area of hostilities.
The results of my work will be taken into account in the training plans of the troops and governing bodies.
Of course, he honored the best warriors with awards and valuable gifts.
In personal communication with our servicemen, they discussed the current situation, as well as ways to solve all problematic issues. We are aware of the real scale and degree of threat from the enemy and are ready to take adequate and effective actions.
We continue the work.
Glory to Ukraine!"
