He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"Almost every day the enemy tries to break through our defense in one place or another to get to our positions. For example, yesterday, on April 10, a large number of enemy infantry massed in Pervomaiske, even managed to raise their tricolor on the outskirts of this settlement and shout to the whole world that Pervomaiske is already theirs. There were a lot of publications and information about this yesterday. The commander of our brigade reacted very quickly, and the tricolor followed the Russian warship. The Ukrainian flag is in Pervomaiske," emphasized the officer of the 59th Brigade.

According to him, today, on April 11, four Russian infantry fighting vehicles and infantry went on the offensive towards Krasnohorivka. The first armored personnel carrier was destroyed, three immediately fled.

"There are constant artillery attacks, FPV drones, 'kamikaze' drones and so on. The enemy is continuously conducting reconnaissance, the whole sky is dotted with enemy reconnaissance drones. However, the occupiers are not sitting still, they have increased the number of their electronic warfare systems, which are installed on vehicles and heavy armored vehicles, interfering with the operation of our FPV. In fact, the situation is very complicated, but under control. We are doing our best to secure our positions and prevent the enemy from accomplishing the task," summarized Tsehotskyi.

  • On April 10, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that in the Avdiivka direction, Ukrainian defenders repelled two attacks near the settlements of Umanske and Pervomaiske in the Donetsk region, where Russian forces tried to drive Ukrainian units out of their positions.
  • On April 11, the morning report of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that in the Avdiivka direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces repelled 6 attacks in the areas of Keramik, Berdychi, Umanske, Netailove and Pervomaiske in the Donetsk region.
