He said this on Espreso TV.

"The invading Russian forces continue to storm towards Bohdanivka. There is no critical success. As for Ivanivske, the Russian army is trying to align the front line in the direction of Chasiv Yar. Indeed, a month ago the enemy had a tactical success and occupied the front streets of Ivanivske. However, today it is too early to talk about Russia's complete control of Ivanivske. Over the past two weeks, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have not given up a single position to the enemy," said Fedorenko.

According to Fedorenko, the invading Russian troops control only a part of Ivanivske.

"Heavy and exhausting fighting continues in the direction of Ivanivske. Half of Ivanivske is now under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, and the other part of the settlement is occupied by the Russians. The invaders are also conducting assault operations in the direction of Klishchiivka and Andriivka. However, they are not having critical success either," he added.

  • On March 24, the Ukrainian non-governmental OSINT project DeepState, which monitors the situation at the front, reported a deterioration in the situation east of the town of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region.
  • Over the last day, March 25, 45 combat engagements took place at the front. The Russian troops attempted to storm the Ukrainian positions 36 times in 5 directions.
