(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – The situation at the front lines in Ukraine, which has been fending off the armed invasion of Putin’s Russia for more than two years now, has seen a marked deterioration, with “heavy fighting” persisting unabated, according to the Commander in Chief of Ukraine’s armed forces.
In a detailed update, he described the ongoing struggles in over a dozen confrontations with Russian forces, who continue to press their invasion.
Oleksandr Syrskyi, the Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief, reported that Russian forces were achieving “tactical successes” in certain sectors.
He emphasized that “heavy fighting across the front line” remains ongoing.
Syrskyi, in his comprehensive review of the numerous battlefronts within Ukraine’s borders against the Russian occupation, noted, “The situation at the front has worsened.”
In specific zones, the dynamics of tactical advantage are shifting so rapidly that control of key targets is exchanging hands multiple times within the same day.
Despite this, Syrskyi pointed out that Russian troops are endeavoring to “seize the strategic initiative and break through the front line” by deploying significant troop formations.
These developments coincide with the onset of spring, which brings more stable ground conditions and weather more favorable for military operations.
It is reported that both Ukraine and Russia are preparing for spring offensives, aiming to seize the strategic upper hand.
While General Syrskyi’s comments might appear to be somewhat bleak, they align with his typical communicative style since assuming leadership, Breitbart News reports.
His statements serve to reinforce Ukraine’s appeal to Western nations, emphasizing the urgent need for additional military support to prevent a potential defeat.
Earlier in April, Syrskyi had remarked that conditions on the Eastern Front had “significantly worsened in recent days.”
He attributed this deterioration to multiple factors, including “warm, dry weather, which has made most of the open areas of the terrain accessible to tanks.”
Further, on Monday, Ukrainian authorities reported that within the last 24 hours, their forces had inflicted casualties on 1,320 Russian soldiers.
Concurrently, Russia has begun conscripting Ukrainians from areas under its occupation to supplement its military forces. This action, as reported by Ukrainian state media, strategically manipulates “compatriots, relatives, and family members against each other,” escalating the internal conflict.
According to the UK government, Russia has lost about 450,000 killed and wounded troops in the Ukraine war so far, an estimate close to Ukraine’s data that more than 463,000 Russian soldiers have been eliminated.
