The situation around Avdiivka is difficult, Russian troops are especially pressing on the line of Berdychi-Orlivka settlements. This was reported by the deputy commander of the third separate assault brigade Maksym Zhorin.
"The main direction where Russians are putting pressure is the Berdychi-Orlivka line, and there are also very active battles in the area of Krasnohorivka. The enemy is trying to gain a foothold in the captured territories with a huge number of infantry," he said.
Zhorin added that the 3rd Brigade along with other Ukrainian units are not only defending, but also carrying out counterattacks.
It is worth noting that last night the Ukrainian military public Deep State reported that Russians captured two villages near Avdiivka - Stepove and Sieverne.
"The enemy advanced near Orlivka, Berdychi and Tonenke. The enemy occupied Stepove and Sieverne. Where will the command of the Tavria operational-strategic group declare the "prepared" defense lines next?" the public writes.
This information has not been officially confirmed by the military.
