"It tends to deteriorate": the Armed Forces of Ukraine told about the situation in Chasiv Yar. Map

The situation in Chasiv Yar remains difficult. However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not officially confirm the advance of the Russian occupation forces, as they may be temporary.

Andrii Polukhin, a spokesman for the press service of the 24th King Danylo Brigade, said this on the Suspilne TV channel. He emphasized that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are controlling logistics routes, destroying Russian army equipment, and striking at anything approaching their positions.

"The situation in Chasiv Yar is difficult and tends to deteriorate. Our guys are holding the line as best they can. We cannot officially declare the enemy's (Russian army's – ed.) advance yet, as these advances may be temporary because we control the logistics routes and the place of advance, any road to our positions with our drones and artillery," said Polukhin.

He noted that there are cases when Russian troops can cross the Siverskyi Donets – Donbas canal.

"The enemy can jump over the channel, take one, two, three positions, and then it ends there. No help comes, because our guys start shooting at everything that moves towards our positions. They are taking back positions, taking back territories, and consolidating along the Siverskyi Donets Canal," the soldier said.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, the Russian occupation army continues an active offensive in the Kramatorsk direction and is trying to capture Chasiv Yar. At the same time, the invaders are using their usual terror tactics and razing the city to the ground.
