Quote from Syrskyi: "The defence forces continue to hold back the enemy, inflicting significant losses on it. The enemy has focused its main efforts on the Pokrovsk, Toretsk, Lyman and Novopavlivka fronts and the areas bordering the Russian Federation in Sumy Oblast.
It has become significantly more active on the Zaporizhzhia front, where it is conducting active offensive operations…
... We also defeat the enemy and its defence potential in the deep rear. Thus, using the means of DeepStrike, we struck 58 targets on the territory of the Russian Federation in May, destroying military facilities and undermining the capabilities of the aggressor's defence industrial base. Among the targets were explosives production facilities and attack UAVs."
Details: Syrskyi stated that the operation on the Kursk front is ongoing. However, the commander-in-chief stressed that the Russians have an advantage in the use of fibre-optic drones.
