The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, has decided to strengthen the defense of the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove sectors with reserves, as reported on Facebook.
"In connection with the difficult situation in the east, I have been working for two days in the units conducting defensive operations on the Pokrovsk-Kurakhove axis, in the direction of the enemy's main attack. This is where the enemy's main offensive forces are concentrated," Syrskyi said.
The Commander-in-Chief noted that during his work with the brigade commanders and their subordinates, he decided to strengthen the defense with reserves and allocate more missiles, ammunition, radio-electronic warfare, and drones.
