"If we talk about the eastern bank of the Oskil River, the Russians are very actively pressing there, they are gathering forces there, and there they are trying to concentrate a large number of their unmanned systems units in order to strike at our logistics. This is a problem, but it is a problem that we are fighting," Tregubov emphasized.
