He said on the TV channel Espreso. 

"The situation is the same, the enemy has been very active in the Avdiivka direction in recent days. Indeed, it was a bit alarming. They are putting pressure on the entire defense line around the city. The Russian troops are firing at the positions around the city and at the community with everything they have available. It is difficult, but controlled. It's a bit annoying when some military observers rely on the information from Telegram from that side. We need to take such things more seriously. The situation in Stepove is complicated. The Russian army is advancing, the Ukrainian soldiers are holding their positions and repelling the enemy. There are interceptions, as soon as the adversary hears that Bradley is operating, they panic. The Bradley's unofficial name "tank killer" is confirmed in our direction," noted Barabash.

According to the head of the Avdiivka city military administration, the situation in the city is difficult but under control.

"The enemy is throwing a lot of forces in the direction of Tsarska Okhota, there is nothing left there, it's just a flat plain. At one time there was a small forest there, but it is also gone. In recent days, a lot has been written about the streets. The sabotage and reconnaissance group have been operating there, but everything is under control. There has never been such a situation that the enemy is walking around Avdiivka. I am sure that this will not happen," emphasized Barabash.

  • The Russian army has increased the activity of combat aircraft and the number of assault and offensive actions in the Avdiivka sector.
  • There were 68 combat clashes on the frontline over the last day. The Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled the largest number of Russian attacks in the Marinka and Avdiivka directions. Meanwhile, Russian casualties among the personnel exceeded 377,000.
