Some Russian units surrounded in Dobropillia area — CinC Syrskyi
According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Facebook by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi.
He noted that he had spent another day working with units operating on the main fronts, including the Dobropillia direction.
Syrskyi held a meeting with the commanders of units and subunits involved in the counteroffensive operation.
“Thanks to the well-planned and bold actions of our troops, some of the enemy's units were surrounded. The total losses of the occupiers in the Dobropillia direction amount to 3,185 people, of which 1,769 are irretrievable,” the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasized.
The general also noted that the invaders lost 969 pieces of weaponry and military equipment.
During the counteroffensive operation, the area of liberated territory now totals about 175 square kilometers. In addition, nearly 195 square kilometers have been cleared of sabotage groups, the commander-in-chief said.
Taking into account the reports of local commanders, he set tasks and gave the necessary instructions to increase the effectiveness of fire damage to the Russians, in particular at long distances; neutralize enemy sabotage groups in specific areas; improve the quality of interaction between units.
Syrskyi also made the necessary decisions to provide comprehensive support to units and subunits participating in combat operations, taking into account the deterioration of weather conditions.
As reported by Ukrinform, Syrskyi stated that the Russian army's spring-summer offensive campaign has been effectively thwarted.
