The Armed Forces said that the Russians have changed their tactics in the east of Ukraine.

This somewhat complicates the work of the Ukrainian defenders, but the occupiers still cannot break through the defense of the Ukrainians.

On December 13, Serhiy Cherevaty, the spokesman of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this on the air of the telethon.

According to him, the Armed Forces forced the Russians to change their tactics.

Cherevaty says that Ukrainians have been using the method of small groups since the battles near Kyiv.

"This complicates our work somewhat, but I wouldn't say that they have completely switched to tactics that can turn the tide of events. Despite the change in tactics, they fail to do the most important thing - to systematically break through our defenses, enter the operational space and go deep of our Donbas and continue to occupy our territory," Cherevaty said.

He added that now Russian mercenaries with experience from the "Wagner" PMC are teaching new recruits the basic elements of combat tactics, the use of terrain and weather.

According to Cherevaty, today the hottest spot on the Eastern Front remains Bakhmut, where the greatest intensity of enemy attacks and attempts to break through Ukrainian defenses is recorded.

At the same time, the enemy continues to deplete its reserves of 122 and 152 mm ammunition.

Because of this, the occupiers are forced to bring them from remote regions.

"The enemy's advantage in projectiles has significantly decreased. If we take into account the accuracy of our artillery, then we are somewhere on parity. Because our high-precision systems destroy Russian field warehouses, barracks and weapons every day. Our gunners are more skilled, and with the acquisition of newer equipment, they have become more effective ", — remarked Cherevaty.

It will be recalled that the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain has published a new map of the hostilities in Ukraine.

So, as of December 13, the fiercest battles are ongoing in Donbas, where the Russian invaders are trying to break through in several directions at once.
