“In the Kyiv direction, the enemy is making a partial rotation with the withdrawal of troops and their transfer, probably to the environmental protection zone. But he does not fully manage to get the plots they would like to receive. Our troops are chasing them, both in the northwest and in the northeast, sending the enemy away from Kyiv, and making it almost impossible to storm Kyiv, ”Arestovych said.
Details
He noted that some counterattacks of the Armed Forces are carried out in the Kharkiv direction. Tactical actions of our troops against the enemy’s defense in the Kherson direction also continue. The situation is optimistic for our troops.
Arestovich also stated that the enemy could not launch an offensive operation to surround our group in the environmental protection zone. So far, the occupiers are delivering only missile and artillery strikes, which may indicate his incomplete readiness to act on the ground.
“So our forecast for today is cautiously optimistic, although there may still be heavy fighting,” – added the adviser to the head of the OP.
Arestovych also stressed that Mariupol is still holding on heroically. He added that the Ukrainian command is providing some assistance to the city, which is too early to say.
At the same time, he said, the enemy continues to carry out air and missile strikes on our critical infrastructure and our military industry. And continues to destroy residential neighborhoods in Kharkov, and in Mariupol, and in Chernihiv – a city that the enemy is trying to turn the second Mariupol, said Arestovich.
Addition
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have regained control over part of the settlements in Kyiv and Chernihiv regions.
