– Fierce battles take place everywhere, she writes on social media.
Russian forces have advanced in areas near the towns of Avdijivka, Marjinka and Lyman, according to her. These are located in Donetsk county in eastern Ukraine.
– The enemy is also advancing in the Svatove sector, adds Maljar.
Svatove is located in Luhansk. Donetsk and Luhansk make up the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine. Russia has partial control over the region and declared last year that the area is part of Russia.
– The situation is quite complicated, she writes about the situation on the battlefield.
Elsewhere, there is better news for Ukraine. In the southern city of Bakhmut, which has been the scene of the bloodiest fighting in the 16-month-long war, Ukrainian forces have advanced with “partial success”, writes Maljar.
There is also gradual progress in the cities of Melitopol and Berdjansk, which are also in the south.
In Ukraine, Ukrainian forces are encountering “intense resistance from the enemy, mines and deployment of reserve forces” in the south, the deputy defense minister says.
Earlier on Sunday, the Ukrainian military announced that Russia carried out a nighttime drone attack on the capital. This was the first drone attack against Kyiv in twelve days, and all the drones were shot down. No one was killed, but one person was injured as a result of falling rocket debris.
