Syrskyi noted that the soldiers of the 92nd Separate Mechanised Brigade named after Ivan Sirko fought back with dignity, destroying the radar systems, MLRS and command posts of the invaders: "Such decisive actions of our army significantly deplete and demoralise the enemy and accelerate our victory".
