According to the head of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky, the situation in the east of the country has intensified lately, and Ukrainian troops retreated along the front line at once in three places. Artillery units of Ukrainian fighters are still waiting for new ammunition promised together with the US Congress approved by a package of $ 61 billion, and the Russian army, using a delay, begins the offensive earlier. Dan Peleshchuk in the Reuters column writes about it on May 2.

He notes that Russia is currently exceeding the Ukrainian army by firing power and gradually moving around Avdiivka and west of Bakhmut - two cities that the Russians have captured in the past and present years. At the same time, the Ukrainian military does not have shells, with which they could suppress Russian attacks that threaten, according to the journalist, to return the course of the war in favor of the Kremlin.

In anticipation of Western aid, Ukrainian artillerymen conduct a scanty fire on the assault attacks of the Russians, releasing no more than 30 shells a day, although there was a time when, according to the Armed Forces Commander Alexander Kozachenko, they produced 100 shells a day. However, they do not know when to expect new ammunition parties.

At the same time, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky declared on April 28 that the situation in the east of the country has been aggravated recently, and Ukrainian troops retreated along the front line in three places.

As the journalist notes, referring to the Analytics of the Finnish OSint-Group Black Bird Group Passi Passi Passi and his analysis of satellite images and content of social networks, Russia won more territories in 2024 than Ukraine reflected during the counter-offensive last summer. "From June 1 to October 1, 2023, Russian troops lost control of 414. 26 square kilometers of the territory. From January 1 to May 2, 2024, they seized 432.

3 square kilometers, most of them in the Donetsk region," Pleshchuk says. The Ukrainian military emphasize that Russian attacks are not only constant but also unpredictable. "We can spend a good night and simply watch, and we can run 15-20 times to weapons. And the same during the day,"-says Private Igor Boychak, a former builder. According to Ukrainian soldiers, Russian drones are a constant threat, according to Ukrainian soldiers.

Now Russian troops are focusing on the time ravine, a town that they need to capture until a symbolic date - May 9. According to military analysts, in this case, some of the large cities of Donetsk region, controlled by Ukraine, will enter the area of ​​the Russian Artillery Fire. According to the journalist, Kiev has developed a new mobilization package to replenish its forces, the number of which easily exceeds their.

At the same time, Ukrainian fighters share: their forces also undermine that there is no replenishment and rotation. "I would like to leave for at least a week and relax, but we continue to work as much as we need," Boychak said. However, the Ukrainian battalion commander stressed that the small tactical successes of the Russian troops have not yet led to their significant strategic advantage.

Although at the same time he acknowledged the ability of the Russians to throw much more troops into battle than the defense forces of Ukraine, in the desire to intercept the initiative. "Losing a whole unit in one day for them is a little thing," the Ukrainian fighter said. Recall that AR journalists published footage from the time ravine, which were removed by the drone. They show all the destruction caused to the city by Russian invaders: there were not actually no surviving building.
