Russia decides to adjust war plan in Ukraine – AFU General Staff
The Russian military-political leadership has decided to adjust plans for further military operations on the territory of Ukraine due to the fact that the goals set before the start of the war with Ukraine were not met on time, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces Ukraine.
According to available information, the Russian military leadership is aware of the insufficiency of the available forces and means of holding the territories temporarily occupied by them and conducting combat operations.
In order to restore combat readiness, a number of decisions were made to remove obsolete armored vehicles from storage and send them to military units. In particular, weapons and military equipment are currently being transferred to the territory of Belarus and the temporarily occupied Crimea in order to carry out an attempt to attack and encircle Kyiv.
At the same time, units of the Belarusian armed forces continue to be involved in covering certain sections of the Belarusian-Ukrainian border.
In order to replenish the losses, the Russian invaders call up reserve officers, privates and non-commissioned officers from among those liable for military service. The practice of involving mercenaries, recruited by Russian PMCs, continues.
In the territories temporarily occupied by the enemy, rare cases of seizure of trucks and special agricultural equipment from private entrepreneurs and farmers are recorded.
According to operational information at 12.00, the enemy was conducting offensive operations only in Donetsk direction.
Regarding Kharkiv, the main efforts of the Russian occupiers were focused on the destruction of civilian infrastructure.
In Izium direction, the enemy suffered losses and retreated to the southern part of the city.
Enemy units continue to block Chernihiv and Sumy. However, they cannot capture Slavutych.
In Volyn and Polissia directions, the enemy is regrouping troops. In Pivdennobuzky direction, the enemy is on the defensive, restoring combat readiness in order to prepare for the resumption of offensive operations.
