Quote from Maliar: "Actually, for the whole of last week, the East was the epicentre of hostilities. The Kupiansk front was probably the hottest. And the enemy was trying to regain the positions it lost last autumn."
Details: As Maliar said, the Russians bombarded the East more than 9,000 times last week. "The enemy spent almost half a million rounds of ammunition in the East last week alone. Our fighters continued offensive operations on the Bakhmut front under such continuous artillery fire," the Deputy Minister of Defence emphasised.
Maliar also added that the Russians want to regain the positions they had lost in Kharkiv Oblast. "And they have such a plan; they want to regain those territories in Kharkiv Oblast that were lost after we liberated them," she said.
