Russia increases the number of personnel, missiles and drones. Syrsky announces retaliatory moves

In June, Russia increased the number of missiles and drones during attacks on Ukraine by 1.6 times. The enemy also increased the number of troops at the front, as reported by Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, summarizing the results of June.

According to the Chief of the Defense Forces, over the past month, the Russians have been trying to unbalance Ukraine's defense, increasing the intensity and number of strikes. The task of the Defense Forces was to deter the enemy and stabilize the situation at the front in "threatening areas.".

"First of all, in the areas of Pivnichno-Slobozhanske, Dobropilske, Pokrovske and Novopavlivka, where the enemy concentrates its main efforts, has created the largest concentration of troops and, unfortunately, significantly outnumbers them," noted Syrskyi .

The enemy is also increasing the number of troops involved in the war against Ukraine and increasing the production of missiles and drones. Ukraine is forced to look for new tactical and technological solutions to counter the occupiers, the chief of the army said.

He emphasized that in June, the Defense Forces carried out 115 fire missions in the DeepStrike direction, and artillery hit 2,864 enemy targets. During the massive attacks, 4000 air attack vehicles were destroyed.

The current priorities are to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of the air defense system. The war with Russia also requires mobilization and recruitment.

According to Syrsky, there are certain problems in this regard, but the main thing is to ensure normal treatment and proper training. In addition, the rate of return of soldiers who committed AWOL has increased.

"At the meeting, we analyzed violations of the mobilization procedure in several regions. We identified mistakes and shortcomings that need to be analyzed and corrected," he said .

Given the instability of the international situation, Ukraine is also looking for new ways to obtain and purchase weapons and equipment. The requirement to develop the direction of attack drones, which compensate for the use of artillery shells, remains unchanged.

"The Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue to stand as a wall and destroy the enemy's plans for its 'summer offensive'. With blood and sweat. Thanks to the support and unity of the Ukrainian people," summarized the Chief of Staff.
