"We are on the Zaporizhzhya front, it is hell here. The Russians have gone mad. They are shooting with all the weapons they have. The enemy is shelling our infantry with grenade launchers, Uragan MLRS, and [TOS-1A] Solntsepyok heavy artillery system," adding it is very difficult for the Ukrainian forces to advance as the Russian artillery is firing non-stop.
"We respond effectively, but the enemy has parity in artillery."
Denysov noted the urgent need for more long-range weapons that have proven effective for the Ukrainian army.
