On the threat of the front expanding
Syrskyi noted that Russia is actively assessing the situation and planning an offensive.
"First, we have a 1,200-kilometer active front. The enemy has twice as many brigades and regiments as we do. That is, I won’t go into further detail, but you understand that we are constantly engaged in combat operations and there is a tendency for the front line to expand. You are aware of the latest intelligence reports and our President of Ukraine’s statements regarding the threat from Russia via Belarus.
"This is a fact; we have the data showing that the Russian General Staff is currently actively planning and preparing offensive operations from the north," he said.
