In August, Russia expected a strategic advantage, writes Sirsky, to carry out the surroundings of Ukrainian troops in the area of ​​Pokrovsk-Mirograd agglomeration, as well as to intensify the offensive in the Novopavlovsky and Zaporizhzhya directions. However, these ideas were not realized. According to the Head of the Armed Forces, the Russian forces were forced to postpone the promotion to Zaporizhzhya and to transfer the units of the Marine Infantry to Donetsk region.

As a result, the moon, which the Russian command had high hopes, has become a "relatively smallest territorial conquest lately" for him.

Km of the territory, having released a number of settlements, emphasized the head.

Russia continued to apply the tactics of "creeping" offensive in small infantry groups, avoiding direct combat clashes. In response, the Ukrainian troops acted in the format of active defense - restrained the enemy, covered the cities from strokes of rockets and drones, and also struck the depths of the Russian territory. According to the Committee, in August alone, Ukrainian drones affected more than 67 thousand enemy objects, and the efficiency of the Middle Strike program increased by 25%.

In addition, Deep Strike was amazed at 60 targets in Russia, including MIC enterprises, facilities of transport infrastructure, fuel production and weapons. Syrsky emphasized that August also became a month of organizational transformations in the Armed Forces. The army completes the transition to the corps system of management, which enables army corps to receive powers, troops and lanes of responsibility.

The commander -in -chief stated that in August alone, the losses of Russian troops amounted to 28 790 people killed and wounded. Since the beginning of 2025, this figure reached 297 350 servicemen.

We will remind, according to Major of the reserve Alexei Hetman, the enemy plans to activate offensive actions with the use of heavy equipment to break through the Ukrainian line of defense to a depth of up to 10-15 kilometers. The main directions of the impact are Pokrovskoye, Kupyanskoye and Zaporizhzhya.
