Russians attack eastern front line about 8,000 times every week – Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister

Hanna Maliar, Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine, has said the Russians carry out about 8,000 attacks on the eastern front line every week.

Quot: "In the East it is very intense on many fronts. Every week, about 8,000 attacks are carried out throughout the eastern front line. This takes about 400,000 shells."

Details: Maliar said that in some areas, the situation is variable.

She explained that when the Armed Forces destroy the equipment and manpower of the Russians in an area that was the epicentre of hostilities, the Russians have to regroup, the number of attacks may subside and it seems that it has become calmer, although this is not the case.

Quote: "If we talk about the Kupiansk front, then two weeks ago it was hot there.

The enemy made efforts to break through to Kupiansk, but the Armed Forces stopped the enemy. As a result, they are replenishing their ranks on the Kupiansk and Lyman fronts.

It may seem that there is less shelling there. In fact, the intensity is high.

If we talk about the Lyman front, then our Armed Forces repel about eight attacks every day."

Earlier: The Russian Federation risks dividing its own forces by pouring resources into the area around Kupiansk as long as fighting continues on the Orikhiv front, the UK Ministry of Defence believes.
