According to the General Staff of Ukraine, the invaders are trying to attack in 4 directions of the front: Limansky, Avdeevsky, Bakhmutsky and near Ugledar .
The enemy's army dreams of realizing at least some of Vladimir Putin's plans – at least reaching the administrative border of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. A military expert, Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev told about this Channel 24. He noted that the Ukrainian army is now on the defensive in these sectors of the front.
The army should receive a reserve for 4 weeks
According to the Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is obvious that in order for the Ukrainian counteroffensive to take place, we must receive enough resources in order not only to start it, but also to effectively carry it out and reach certain lines and positions and liberate the territory of Ukraine.
Of course, for this military operation to be most effective, the Ukrainian army must receive resources and reserves for at least 4 weeks of active hostilities – ammunition, fuel and other components of military logistics, – Seleznev emphasized.
He stressed if we had all this, then the counteroffensive would have already continued.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine effectively destroy enemies
The Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine believes that Putin is trying to take advantage of this “reason” and attacks wherever he can.
Putin is a symbolist, and on February 24, 2023, he will have to report on what was done during the year of the “three-day campaign” of the so-called special military operation. That is why Putin's generals throw new parties of Russian “chmobiks” into the furnace of war every day. And they quickly turn to ashes,” he said.
According to him, the enemy does not have many territorial acquisitions. But this is not about the stupidity of Putin's army, but about the courage and heroism of Ukrainian soldiers.
“Even being in defensive positions against superior enemy forces, they still hold these positions, effectively destroying the occupiers. And the daily reports of the General Staff regarding the losses of Putin's army are clear evidence of this,” Vladislav Seleznev summed up.
What's happening on the front: important
- The situation in the Bakhmut direction remains very tense. Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier Yevgeny Firsov said that the Russian military continues to go on the offensive, despite the crazy death toll. Without exaggeration, they go on the attack over the mountains of their corpses.
- Fierce battles are going on in the Donetsk region. British intelligence noted that in this area the enemy may try to develop a new advance. However, an operational breakthrough may not happen.
- Speaker of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Cherevaty noted that the Russians are trying to find a weak spot along the entire front line and deplete our defense in order to completely capture the Donetsk and Luhansk regions – this is their main goal, and it does not change. And also to preserve the so-called “corridor” in Crimea and say that this was allegedly a priority task.
- Donbass Realia journalist Oleksandr Demchenko stressed that the situation near Ugledar is very difficult. Russian troops are trying to attack the city from two sides – from the south and from the east. It has become a strong point. After all, the steppe is around, and the city has turned into reinforced concrete structures from residential buildings. It's a pretty good place to defend.
