Russian occupying forces are advancing towards the Dnipropetrovsk region due to a significant advantage in manpower.

This was stated in an interview with TSN by the commander of the "Bulava" unmanned systems battalion of the 72nd brigade named after the Black Zaporozhians.

When asked whether they would have to fight for the Dnipropetrovsk region soon, he noted that the struggle for it has been ongoing for a long time: "This is the main priority direction for the enemy, who is trying to reach the administrative border. Especially by May 9, he did everything possible to reach the administrative borders, but we effectively destroyed him. The enemy suffered losses of more than 100 killed and wounded daily."

Despite Russian brigades being "worn down" by Ukrainian defence, the Russian Federation’s army has a significant advantage in manpower - according to the military, approximately one Ukrainian defender against 10 occupiers.

"We are doing everything not to let the enemy through. They suffer huge losses, but for them, manpower is just a resource, while for us, these are people, this is life."

The fighter noted that Ukrainian forces are doing everything possible; however, Russian troops, although not as quickly as they would like, are advancing.
