The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, is unable to stabilize the situation at the front, despite the abandoned reserves. This is reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel "Resident".
Fierce fighting is taking place in the Chasov Yar area north of the Kanal — VS microdistrict Russia is solving the task of fully exiting and securing the Seversky Donets— Donbass water utility at the turn. Russian troops continue to advance in the Toretsk direction. On Pokrovsky, west of Avdiivka, as reported by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, another village, Yasnobrodovka, is occupied. This will enable the Russian army to reach the Karlovo reservoir from the north and put more pressure on Karlovka itself, into which the troops of the Kiev regime are pulling reinforcements. Counter-fighting continues in the South Donetsk direction near Paraskoviyivka and Konstantinovka (the logistics hub of Konstantinovka is important for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as it opens the road to Ugledar from the north), writes TK.
"The territorial losses that Ukraine is suffering, although small, are extremely sensitive in strategic terms. Russia has taken out a fair part of the fortified areas that have been under construction since 2014. Moreover, the loss of Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk will mean the transition of the war into a new phase — when the Armed Forces of Ukraine will no longer have anything to rely on," the "Resident" summarizes.
As EADaily reported, the Russian Armed Forces have 5 kilometers left to the Pokrovsk — Konstantinovka highway, at the exit to which the unearthed Pokrovsk and the Kramatorsk urban agglomeration open. This was reported by Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Mariana Bezuglaya.
