In one direction in the Donetsk region, the Ukrainian army advanced 15 km, liberating three villages. Currently, the settlements are a “gray zone”, but in fact they are controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is not specified which villages are in question. This was reported in the Joint Forces Group. They emphasize that the enemy has an advantage in artillery, but the Ukrainian army manages to resist it.

The military says the information they received from the radio wiretaps showed the enemy was demoralized and disoriented.

“According to the captures, the enemy is very surprised, morally exhausted, they do not know why they are here. This is because there is no clear purpose for the so-called “special operation”.“, – says Andrew, a soldier of the Armed Forces.

It is noted that the success of the enemy was possible precisely because of the superiority of artillery. The army emphasizes that the Russians did not waste the bullets and carried out chaotic bombardments. Their main goal is to intimidate Ukrainian troops. Ukrainian gunners respond with fire, but operate with aim and accuracy.

“They last worked on two ammunition depots, possibly with equipment. One was completely burned, the other inflicted maximum damage“- he said to the army with the call sign “Ares.”

Burnt vehicles are parked on the road where journalists are moving. The military said that one of the BMP-2 was destroyed by NLAW anti-aircraft missiles.

“All the garbage they put in the towers to save them – it doesn’t help. Here is the BMP-2 and the tower is somewhere in the next area“, – said the army.

In the settlements entered by the Ukrainian army, there are almost no civilians, only the elderly. Clashes continue in this direction on the Donetsk front.

We will remind, ZSU Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny, during his meeting with the chairman of the joint committee of the US staffs, Mark Milli, reported that the length of the front in the Russia-Ukraine war is now. 2450 km, 1105 km of which are active hostilities.

On the eve of the next meeting of defense ministers on Ukraine, Zaluzhny urged the United States to supply Ukraine with more artillery. Source
