Russian forces are afraid of Ukrainian troops' breakthrough and deploy reserves from Russia's depths

This is stated in a message on the Defense Forces media platform coordinated by Ukraine's MoD.

According to available information, Russia is regrouping troops between operational areas to avoid a breakthrough of its defense line. In addition, the Russian troops are moving reserves to the front from deep inside Russia.

At the same time, it is noted that the Russian forces have increased the use of guided aerial bombs, Lancet loitering munitions and Shahed attack drones.

• In the morning Ukraine's General Staff reported that the invaders were trying to break through the Ukrainian defense near Avdiivka, Marinka and Novomykhailivka in Donetsk region. The operational situation in the east and south of Ukraine remains quite difficult.
