After the capture of Avdeevka, the Russians shifted the focus of their main efforts to the Novopavlovsk direction (Marinka area). The speaker of the operational-strategic group of troops “Tavria” Dmitry Likhovoy spoke about this on air at the telethon.
According to him, in the Avdeevka area the Russians still continue to attack, but there the actions of the occupiers are already mainly local in nature. At the same time, the Russian command began to pull its main reserves to the area of the village of Novomikhailovka, which is south of the city of Maryinka, which was ground into dust by the aggressor.
“There the enemy is beating his forehead against the eastern outskirts [Новомихайловки]has the goal of moving forward, makes great efforts, really pulls up reserves there, and for him this is the main direction of attack in the Donetsk region after Avdievka,” Likhovoy said.
He noted that in the last 24 hours alone, in the Novopavlovsk direction, the Defense Forces repulsed 39 enemy assaults – this is the largest number for one direction in recent times.
Situation on the front line: latest news
As UNIAN wrote, the Ukrainian Armed Forces probably received a new batch of ammunition from Western partners. This was stated by ATO veteran, military expert Evgeniy Diky. According to him, Ukrainian artillery has noticeably intensified.
At the same time, the Russians continue to try to advance at least a little more to the north-west of Avdeevka. As they said in the 3rd assault brigade, the aggressor is now wiping out its troops in the village of Orlovka, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces have entrenched themselves on a new defensive line.
