(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The Russian forces are attempting to break through the Ukrainian defenses in the area of Chasiv Yar.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported on a TV broadcast by the Spokesperson for the Luhansk Operational Tactical Group, Anastasia Bobovnikova.
“There are intense battles near Chasiv Yar. The enemy is trying to break through our defenses. When they realize they can't attack us head-on due to significant losses they're also suffering in the Kramatorsk sector, they attempt small probing strikes to find weak points in our defenses. They strike here and there, hoping they might eventually succeed,” she stated.
Bobovnikova noted that the Ukrainian military's strategy is to cut off enemy supply routes, depriving them of reinforcements.
