According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the enemy is trying to surround the group of troops of the Armed Forces in Luhansk region .

This was announced at a briefing by Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar, reports LB.ua.

"The security situation around Ukraine remains difficult. The Russian Federation has been waging a full-scale war against our state for four months.

The main strategic, military-political and military-economic goals for our country remain the complete destruction of Ukrainian statehood and nation. According to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, given that Russia is unable to conduct successful offensive operations in several directions simultaneously, the Kremlin's main efforts are currently focused on establishing full control over the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, "said Malyar.

Russian troops are currently trying to surround the defense forces in the Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Zolotoye, Slovyansk and Kramatorsk districts. The enemy continues to use high-precision means of destruction of ground, air and sea bases.

"According to the GUR, the biggest threat today is the Iskanders, the X-101 and X-155 cruise missiles, and the Caliber naval-based cruise missiles, which could strike at the entire depths of Ukraine." said the Painter.

She also said that another of the main goals of the enemy is the destruction of weapons and equipment, logistics coming from foreign partners.

"The enemy is also trying to damage the transport infrastructure used by us to transfer military and civilian cargo. In the future, Russia's actions will largely depend on Ukraine's availability of resources for hostilities and the scale of international military support," Malyar said.

According to her forecasts, the Kremlin will try to use military achievements as a key lever of influence in negotiations with the Ukrainian authorities.
