Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] The situation at the front has worsened for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Ukrainian troops are losing positions in several directions at once, said the commander in chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Syrsky.  According to him, the Russian Armed Forces maintain an advantage both in technology and in the number of troops. “ Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, preserving the life and health (of their military. - Ed.), moved to new lines west of Berdichi, Semyonovka and Novomikhailovka. In general, in these areas (the Russian Armed Forces. - Ed.) have achieved certain tactical successes,” the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine wrote on his Telegram channel. Syrsky added that Ukrainian troops also left their positions in the Avdeevka direction, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to advance to the Pokrovsk and Kurakhovo area, advancing west of Avdeevka. As reported by IA Regnum, on April 28, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that panic was growing on the Ukrainian side at the fronts, and it was important to maintain this momentum. At the same time, Peskov added that the West and Ukraine will “test Russia weakly,” so it is important for the Russian Federation not to show weakness. Former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter noted on the Ask the Inspector podcast that the Kiev regime of Vladimir Zelensky will fall in the coming months. In turn, former adviser to ex-President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin reported that military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refuse to carry out the orders of the command, and the army leadership cannot do anything about it. The situation at the front for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is depressing, added Kuchma’s ex-adviser. In March, it was reported that military personnel of the elite units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine accused Zelensky of the upcoming big “catastrophe.” The unit’s fighters criticized Syrsky and said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are “ on the edge of the abyss ” after the dismissal of “the most adequate ones.” More from korrespondent.net Syrsky: The situation at the front has worsened Fierce fighting continues at the front. The most difficult situation is in the Pokrovsky and Kurakhovsky directions, where the enemy has deployed up to four brigades, the commander-in-chief said.

He is actively attacking along the entire front line, in some directions he has tactical successes. A dynamic change in the situation is taking place “, individual positions change hands several times during the day, which gives rise to an ambiguous understanding of the situation,” the message says. It is reported that this week heavy fighting continued along the entire front line, and in some areas the enemy had tactical success, and in others it was possible to improve the tactical position of our troops. In the Lugansk region, the enemy is trying to take advantage of its advantage in the air, missiles and the number of artillery ammunition. “The main task for himself is to reach the administrative border of the Lugansk region,” states the commander-in-chief. Syrsky noted that the enemy is crossing his main efforts in the Kupyansky direction in the area of the villages of Stelmakhovka and Berestovo, where the enemy had partial success, but was stopped by Ukrainian defenders, as well as in the Limansky direction, where he is advancing on the village of Terny and trying to push the Ukrainian Defense Forces beyond the Cherny River A stallion, but not successful. In the Kramatorsk direction, the hottest spots remain Ivanovskoe and Chasov Yar, and the enemy is also trying to regain control of Klishchievka and reach the line via the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal.

In general, in these directions the enemy achieved certain tactical successes, but was unable to gain an operational advantage. Ukrainian troops inflict maximum losses on the enemy, both in personnel and in military equipment. To strengthen the defense in these directions and replace units that have suffered losses, brigades that have restored combat capability are being relocated,” the commander-in-chief said in a statement.
