According to him, fighting is currently taking place on the outskirts of the town of Sudzha.
"The enemy attempted to cut off our grouping from the border, but all attempts were repelled. Nevertheless, the enemy continues to threaten some of our positions.
The enemy's tactical and operational advantages, along with its superiority in infantry, drones, aviation, and artillery, complicate the organization of defense along intermediate lines," he added.
"Under such conditions, it is crucial to rely on sound command decisions in assessing the situation and determining tasks and defensive lines that our troops can effectively hold, ensuring that tactical advantages shift to our side," he concluded.
"In such conditions, we should rely on adequate decisions of the command to assess the situation and identify tasks and borders that the troops can effectively defend, so that the advantages of the tactical situation can be transferred to our side," he concludes.
