She told this on Espreso TV.

‘The Russian occupation army is not advancing in the Toretsk sector. For a very long time, we have been able to hold it back. The enemy is still in the eastern regions. As for the evacuation of civilians from the town, this process is currently very difficult, as the enemy has not reduced the number of air and artillery strikes on the city. However, as far as I know, the evacuation continues. It is still possible to leave the town,’ Bobovnikova said.

According to the spokesperson, Russian troops are not advancing near Nelipivka either.

‘South of Toretsk in the area of Nelipivka, our powerful units are holding defense. They manage to hold back the enemy. Our military units are also conducting counter-offensive actions. Therefore, the enemy is not advancing near Nelipivka either,’ she added.

  • Mykhailo Samus, military expert, director of the New Geopolitics Research Network, deputy director of the Centre for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies, believes that Russian forces are making every effort to break through in the south of Donetsk region.
  • 175 combat engagements were recorded on the frontline between the two armies on October 29. Russia is attacking most actively in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions.
