"The enemy is trying to shift the main focus and its efforts to the encirclement of Avdiivka. The enemy is trying to advance from the north and south. Avdiivka is beginning to resemble Marinka, which is completely destroyed. About 2,000 civilians remain in Avdiivka, but some of them want to stay in the city. Disconnecting mobile communications in Avdiivka is one of the elements of strengthening our defense capabilities," emphasized Zgurets.
