Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi has just outlined the main priorities of the army's operations on the battlefield, and their scope lies outside the territory of Ukraine.
According to the Kyiv Independent, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said on February 3 that battlefield operations in Russia's Kursk province and efforts to attack military facilities deep inside Russian territory are Kiev's main battlefield priorities.
"We continue to effectively destroy Russian military facilities to reduce their offensive capabilities. We are destroying Russian forces both in Ukraine and in Russia," General Syrskyi wrote on social media.
The Ukrainian military commander also outlined Ukraine's main priorities, including holding defense lines, deterring Russian attacks and increasing the use of unmanned systems.
“On the ground, first of all, we will strengthen the personnel and equipment of the units holding the front-line defense lines,” Syrskyi said. The commander stressed the need to improve recruitment and psychological support for soldiers, as well as enhance the ability to integrate new personnel from training centers before they carry out combat missions.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has stepped up long-range drone attacks on Russian oil facilities, aimed at disrupting fuel supplies to its rival and undermining Moscow’s energy export revenues. Oil revenues are believed to be the main source of funding for Russia’s efforts in the conflict with Ukraine.
Most recently, on the night of February 3, a series of drones attacked the Volgograd and Astrakhan provinces of the Russian Federation. The Ukrainian General Staff later confirmed that Ukrainian forces were behind the attacks.
This is the fifth attack on Russian oil refineries and other facilities in 2025, the Kyiv Independent reported. Ukrainian drones previously attacked a Lukoil-owned oil refinery in Volgograd on January 31.
Ukraine also recently attacked an oil refinery in Ryazan, a distillery in Tambov Oblast and a chemical plant in Bryansk. The Ryazan refinery, one of Russia’s largest, was later forced to shut down due to damage.
Meanwhile, in Kursk province, Ukrainian forces have held their positions since the start of a cross-border offensive in August 2024, reportedly seizing about 1,300 square kilometers of Russian territory.
Although Ukraine has lost nearly half of its gains since then, fighting continues as Kiev seeks to use its presence at Kursk as leverage in potential negotiations.
However, on the Kursk front, the Russian army is also actively trying to push back the Ukrainian forces. On February 2, Russian forces entered Zamostye south of Sudzha and advanced along the highway on the other side of the city, forming two pincers, determined to squeeze the Ukrainian forces.
Russia and Ukraine remain locked in an unequal conflict. Everyone agrees that the Ukrainian army (AFU) cannot win on the battlefield, and the most that commanders and political leaders in Kiev can hope for is to keep the front line intact as it is now.
Meanwhile, the Russian army continues to put pressure on enemy positions, probing in various areas of the Ukrainian line, hoping that in the near future Kiev's forces will finally be exhausted and the front line will begin to collapse.
