I responsibly declare that the situation in the brigade’s defense zone is complex, but controllable,” says the statement of the brigade commander, Lieutenant General Artur Gorbenko, published on the unit’s Facebook page.
It is noted that “the populated areas into which the enemy entered were in a permanent “gray zone”, and therefore the enemy’s success is quite conditional.”
In addition, the military of the 92nd assault brigade showed how defensive lines along the entire front should be arranged.
The best we’ve had! Reinforced concrete, wood on the outside, covered, the defenders share their impressions.
The video on the official channel of the brigade, now holding the defense in the Kharkov direction, appeared after complaints from the military of the 57th brigade about the lack of proper fortifications on the first line of defense.
For security reasons, the location of the positions and the line of defense are not disclosed.
The military and leadership of the Kharkov region responded to reports that the first line of fortifications was unprepared.
The entire leadership of the Kharkov OVA is in Kharkov, carrying out the tasks set by the political leadership of the country and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The fortifications built by the OVA forces are occupied by the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
Those who spread disinformation, consciously or unconsciously, work for the enemy. In the third year of the war, this is a crime,” said Roman Semenukha, deputy chairman of the KhOVA.
The commander of the 125th separate brigade of the Terror Defense Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Artur Gorbenko, denied the unpreparedness for the Russian offensive and the retreat of individual units from the frontiers.
I responsibly declare that the situation in the brigade’s defense zone is complex, but controllable. The settlements into which the enemy entered were in a constant “gray zone”, and therefore the enemy’s success is quite conditional and costs him huge losses in equipment and manpower. The territory occupied by the enemy is localized and is subject to constant fire damage,” he wrote.
Speaker of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andrey Yusov also stated that intelligence was aware of the plans of the occupiers, and appropriate measures were taken.
Earlier, the commander of the reconnaissance unit of the 57th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Denis Yaroslavsky, said that in the border region there were no fortifications on the first line of defense, and the territory was not mined. This allowed the enemy to quickly advance through the “gray zone.”
According to him, the commanders of the 125th brigade were forced to sign acts of acceptance and transfer of unfinished fortifications.
Although the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has previously repeatedly stated the priority of building fortifications in the Kharkov region and claimed that 92-98% of the work has been completed in hot areas.
