As reported by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Army this Thursday (02.23.2023), the Army of that country responded to some 90 Russian attacks in the last 24 hours. The Russian offensive is concentrated in the Kharkov region, in the northeast, and in the neighboring Lungansk and Donetsk, in the east, both bordering Russia.
“Ukraine repelled attacks near Kupiansk, in the eastern Kharkov region, not far from neighboring Lugansk, and in the Donetsk towns of Lyman, Bakhmut, Adviika and Shakhtarsk,” where, according to the General Staff, ” Russia is concentrating its main offensive efforts.”
Precisely, in the strategic town of Bajmut, the Ukrainian army assures that the clashes continue “street by street“, since control of the area would allow either side to have a safe corridor to transport weapons and soldiers.
The General Staff also reported that Russia launched 19 airstrikes and 37 attacks with multiple launch rocket systems over the past day, causing damage to towns and villages and injuring an unspecified number of civilians.
kyiv assures that Moscow maintains its tough offensive in the area to achieve full control over Donetsk, one of the four regions that Moscow unilaterally annexed last September and has not yet managed to fully occupy.
He also warned that the threat of Russia launching missile attacks “It continues to be high throughout Ukraine” and, for this reason, the Ukrainian authorities maintain a reinforcement of security measures throughout the country, which tomorrow will live the first anniversary of the start of the invasion.
