Commander of the occupation forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, General Sergei Surovikin declared that the situation at the front “can be characterized as tense”. Surovikin also recognized the problems of the occupiers in the Kherson region, where the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is ongoing.
“The enemy does not stop trying to attack the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, primarily in the Kupyan, Krasnolymansk, Mykolaiv-Kryvyi Rih directions. (…) Regarding Kherson, further actions will depend on the military-tactical situation, it is not easy, it is possible to make difficult decisions”, he declared.
Surovikin repeated the thesis, which sounded earlier, that the offensive of the occupiers stopped allegedly because the commanders “save the lives of soldiers and civilians”.
According to him, the Russian army is now “increasing its composition, creating reserves and erecting defensive positions” along the entire line of battle.
In the interview, the general also actually voiced the real reasons for Russia's attack on Ukraine and the essence of Putin's “special operation”: “Russia wants Ukraine to be a friendly state for Russia, independent of the West and NATO.”
