Russian forces are launching heavy attacks in many sectors of the eastern front, including in the Avdiivka, Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, and Marinka directions, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported on Oct. 23.
According to Volodymyr Fitio, a spokesperson of Ukraine’s Ground Forces, Russia has failed to achieve any strategic success on the eastern front as Ukrainian forces are holding their defenses.
“At the moment, the Russians haven’t tried anything new in terms of tactics, but they are pulling up reserves from all over Russia, trying to push through our defense lines,” Fitio said on the air.
“Currently, they achieve no strategic successes. Ukrainian soldiers are actively defending. This gives us an opportunity to both defend and, in suitable moments, attack.”
