However, due to the active actions of the Defense Forces, the occupiers are forced to postpone the dates of planned operations and transfer troops from other directions, Commander-in-Chief of the AFU Oleksandr Syrskyi reported on Facebook following the results of the monthly summary meeting.
The Ukrainian counteroffensive operation continues. Over the month the Air Assault Forces restored control over 285.6 sq. km in the Oleksandrivske direction, and in total more than 400 square kilometers of territory have been liberated.
