 He disclosed this information on Espreso.

"The situation around Chasiv Yar is fluid. Our Defense Forces are tirelessly working to maintain control of all areas and prevent flanking attacks on Chasiv Yar. We've noticed the enemy relocating reserves, forces, and assets in this direction to gain ground and push forward along the frontline. However, our Defense Forces hold a strategic advantage, especially with fortified positions and the geography of Chasiv Yar," Muzychuk stated.

Muzychuk also noted that the enemy will strive to secure some measure of victory at Chasiv Yar.

"We've observed a reduction in enemy assault activity in certain areas. The transfer of reserves from the Lyman direction to Chasiv Yar indicates its crucial significance for the enemy. They'll exert maximum effort to achieve even minor successes," he added.

  • On April 14, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi, following two days of frontline operations, warned that the Russian Federation seeks to breach the defense west of Bakhmut, reach the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas channel, and capture Chasiv Yar.
  • On April 15, Oles Malyarevich, deputy commander of the ACHILLES strike battalion of the 92nd brigade, affirmed that the Defense Forces are fully committed to preventing the capture of Chasiv Yar.
