“The situation has really worsened significantly, from the south to the center of the region. The hottest part of our country was and remains the Bakhmut direction, however, it is very hot in Avdiivka now. We observe an exacerbation almost along the entire front line – from the south and from the north,” he told the air. telethon
Kyrylenko noted that the occupiers cannot break through the defenses of the Ukrainian defenders in Donbas. The enemy suffers significant losses in personnel and armored vehicles. Because of this, the Russians are once again resorting to scorched earth tactics.
