President Vladimir Putin, who’s expected to travel to China early this week, said Russian forces have recently improved their positions across the front lines in Ukraine’s east and northeast, including around Zaporizhzhia, Avdiivka, and Kupyansk. Putin said in a state TV interview that Kremlin troops are employing a tactic he called “active defense,” and are aware that Ukraine is preparing fresh attacks. Kyiv’s months-long counteroffensive aimed at pushing back Russian forces has “failed completely,” Putin added.
Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, said Saturday that Kremlin forces have intensified their operations in the Kupyansk-Lyman area but that Kyiv’s troops were prepared and are defending. Ukraine repelled 15 attacks around Avdiivka, Tonenke and Pervomaiske in the Donetsk region in the past day.
