He reported this on Espreso.

"The situation in the Donetsk direction is consistently difficult. There is very heavy shelling of Bakhmut, unfortunately, Russian enemy wants to raze the city to the ground. There are also airstrikes in all major cities of Donetsk region, in Kramatorsk, Slavyansk and so on. As for the settlements of Pisky, Vodyane and the entire district road, this territory is ours at the moment. The guys say that Avdiyivka is also in our hands," informed a soldier of the "Svoboda" battalion.

Yaroslav Lysenko noted that now it is important to hold the southern direction so that Russian enemy does not enter our rear from the south, so we hold on and pray for everyone who is in the Donetsk direction.
