However, intense fighting is highly likely ongoing for control over the central and northern sections of the canal area, and Russian occupation forces are struggling to establish control there.
Since mid-July 2024, Russian forces had been unable to cross the canal due to extensive defensive measures taken by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, British intelligence noted.
As reported by Ukrinform, on October 27, there were 142 clashes on the front, with the hottest areas remaining in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove sectors.
