Russians increasing intensity of assault operations - Ukraine Defense Ministry

That’s according to the Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar, who delivered the news via Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"To put it briefly and in simple words: the situation at the front is difficult. The enemy army is increasing the intensity of assault operations. The situation remains most difficult in the Bakhmut direction," said Maliar.

According to the official, the enemy applies tactics of attrition and total destruction during offensive operations.

"At the same time, the enemy has a significant death toll, losing from 600 to 1,000 soldiers each day. Ukraine’s Defense Forces are conducting active defensive operations amid the enemy's numerical superiority. Our soldiers are bravely repelling the enemy," Maliar emphasized.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the enemy is trying to advance, increasing the number of troops involved in combat operations in five directions.
