Fighting in northeastern Ukraine is now 'extremely intense' as Russian troops including units made up of former prisoners seek to break Kyiv's defenses.
The new Russian offensive in northeastern Ukraine is causing concern among military officials in Kyiv, as Moscow's forces look to spoil the ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive still raging in the south and east of the country. Former prisoners in"Storm-Z" units are said to be part of the Kremlin's push.
The Russian goal, the commander said, is"to break through the defense of our troops and go directly to Kupyansk." The city was among those liberated in Ukraine's September 2022 counteroffensive, a surprise operation that collapsed Russian lines in Kharkiv Oblast and liberated nearly 1,000 square miles of territory.
Russian troops are now looking to drive further west from here, though Syrskyi said they have so far been unsuccessful."Our fighters courageously hold the defense, repelling all the enemy's attempts to move forward," he said. Among the attacking forces, Syrskyi said, are eight, which are made up of former prisoners and are often used in Moscow's high-risk offensive operations.
