Russia is trying to advance as much as possible before Ukraine's new reinforcements arrive, according to the Ukrainian army chief.

The Russian invasion forces have made small but continued advances both in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine and further south, in parts of the front where Ukraine has warned of a shortage of both soldiers and ammunition.

In Moscow, they are well aware that time is on Ukraine's side as the reserves are gradually being reinforced, writes Ukrainian army chief Oleksandr Syrskyj on social media. He particularly highlights that Ukrainians will soon have access to F-16 planes.

"Therefore, the Russian forces' commanders are currently trying with all their might to increase the intensity and expand the area of battles, to maximise the depletion of our forces, disrupt the training of our reserves, and prevent the transition to active offensive actions," writes Syrskyj.

Ukraine's President and Commander-in-Chief Volodymyr Zelenskyj said at the weekend's peace conference in Switzerland that the support being sent still does not meet the needs, and that it always comes too late.

According to Syrskyj, Russia is pushing hardest in Donetsk, the long-disputed and only partially occupied region that the Kremlin announced it would annex in September 2022.
