Ukraine's defense forces managed to take most of dominant heights in east - company commander Fedorenko

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

"The advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues, we are fighting for every meter. The enemy is trying to use combined manpower, pulling up new reserves and artillery. The enemy's concentration is quite high in the area where the Defense Forces are performing their tasks. The Defense Forces manage to implement effective counter-battery combat, forcing the enemy guns to keep silent and move under our fire all the time," emphasized Fedorenko.

According to the UAV company commander, the Defense Forces are using attack UAVs to knock out enemy armored vehicles and artillery.

"Sometimes we manage to hit the enemy's air defense systems. Our sappers are doing an incredible job because the enemy has mined literally everything. Every passage to the enemy's positions has to be cleared of mines so that the personnel can enter and knock out the enemy. The Ukrainian Armed Forces manage to keep the initiative on their side and knock out the enemy, who has much more resources. The defense forces managed to occupy most of the dominant heights and the necessary footholds to continue the assault. The work continues around the clock," emphasized Fedorenko.
