Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, conducted work in units carrying out combat missions in the Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad agglomeration area.
He reported this on social media on January 8.
It is in this sector that the operational situation remains the most difficult — around fifty combat engagements occur daily.
The enemy is attempting to increase pressure on our defensive positions, redeploying additional reserves and seeking opportunities to advance, including through infiltration actions and constant assaults.
Our troops are making maximum efforts to halt the enemy’s advance and destroy its personnel and equipment.
“The northern part of Pokrovsk is under our control. We are stopping the enemy in Myrnohrad. We are conducting active defense”, — the Commander-in-Chief emphasized.
Based on reports from the field, Oleksandr Syrskyi clarified tasks for army corps and brigade commanders.
“I have defined a set of concrete steps to increase the resilience of the defense and ensure uninterrupted operation of key logistical routes, which directly affect the supply of ammunition and reinforcements for our troops”, — the statement reads.
As the Commander-in-Chief noted, it is crucial to maintain combat capabilities and preserve the lives of Ukrainian defenders — our most valuable asset.
“Fighting in this sector is marked by high dynamics and intensity, yet our warriors act decisively and professionally, demonstrating strength, endurance, and cohesion. I sincerely thank the soldiers, sergeants, and officers — it is thanks to you that the enemy is suffering enormous losses, and thanks to you that Ukrainian Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad stand”, — Oleksandr Syrskyi concluded.
