The situation around Avdiivka in the Donetsk region is complicated, with active fighting continuing. At the same time, Russian troops have changed their tactics. This was reported by Vitaliy Barabash, head of the Avdiivka CMA, during a telethon.
"The enemy is now trying to break through pointwise. They have prioritized, relatively speaking, three directions, and they are mostly sending equipment and a large number of infantry there. It is really difficult. Indeed, it is very hot. The enemy will try to realize the tasks set to take the city," said Barabash.
According to him, the situation around the city is difficult, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to hold back the Russians. The defense line around Avdiivka is holding.
"Of course, it is very difficult. But there is no need to dispel the traitorous mood. The guys hold on, we need to help them and thank them for what they are doing," said the head of the CMA.
