Such actions by Ukrainian defenders are facilitated by weather conditions and the powerful combat work of the defense forces. Moving even one meter forward is an achievement. Natalya Gumenyuk, press secretary of the operational command “South,” announced this on January 18 during a national telethon.
We continue to work on expanding the bridgehead, this work is very difficult. In terms of time, it may seem somewhat slow, but it takes place in the most difficult combat conditions,” she said.
According to the speaker, the Russian occupation forces do not stop storming the positions of the Ukrainian military and are trying to dislodge the defenders from their occupied positions. During January 17, the Russians carried out six assaults, but they were not successful for the enemy.
The morning report of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that 78 military clashes took place over the past 24 hours. The Ukrainian military repelled enemy attacks in the Kupyansky, Limansky, Bakhmutsky, Avdeevsky, Maryinsky and Shakhtarsky directions.
