Despite this, Russia's operational and tactical goals still remain unfulfilled.
The Russian army continues to hold initiatives to increase the pace of operations. This is especially true concerns ground forces.
This was announced by the head of the Intelligence Center of the Estonian Defense Forces Ants Kiviselg, reports ERR.
However, despite the increase in pace, Russia's operational and tactical goals still remain unfulfilled.
According to Kiviselga, the Russian Federation has paid attention to searching for possible weak points in the defense of Ukraine.
Head of the Intelligence center remembered the newest Russian boat “Sergei Kotov” destroyed on March 5.
“According to some reports, there was a Ka-29 transport helicopter on board the Kotov, which was also destroyed. It was a rather unfortunate day for the Black Sea Fleet. In total, the Black Sea Fleet had four such patrol boats. And in the case of the Kotov, it was a new patrol ship in this class. The ships were accepted only in 2022,” Kiviselg said.
He also said that in the Luhansk region the main activity of the occupiers was observed on the Kupyansk-Kremennaya-Svatovo line. Russian armed forces have seized additional territory in the Kupyansky and Limansky districts.
According to Kiviselg, Russia's likely goal in the Kupyansky district is to gain control of a section of the Oskol River and a section of the Zherebets River in the direction of Liman.
“Although the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation maintain the initiative along the entire front line, the Russian Federation’s advance towards Lugansk over the week was very insignificant, and the Russian Federation did not reach the aforementioned river lines,” said the head of the Intelligence Center.
By According to him, in the Donetsk region, the infidels have achieved little success in the west and southwest. In the Zaporozhye and Kherson directions, slightly lower enemy activity was noted than last week.
