Russian troops remain in control of only the western part of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian forces maintain their positions, preventing Russia from capturing the city completely. Thus, military activity continues in other areas of the conflict zone.
'Yes, of course, they are there in the western part of the city, meaning that part of the city is controlled by Russia, unfortunately, but nevertheless, the city is not taken,' emphasized Trehubov.
Change in tactics of Russian troops in the Kramatorsk direction
Russian troops in the Kramatorsk direction are improving their tactics of combat operations. Instead of large-scale attacks, they are using small infantry groups to infiltrate Ukrainian positions, trying to maintain the initiative without significant losses.
'There are no large frontal attacks as they occurred, for example, two years ago. It is rather about infantry trying to infiltrate Ukrainian positions in one way or another, which is, in principle, characteristic of the entire line of demarcation now,' explained the spokesman.
During the fighting in Chasiv Yar, Ukrainian forces successfully hold their positions, preventing Russia from fully capturing the city. Russian troops in the Kramatorsk direction have changed their strategy to a more maneuverable one, using small infantry groups to infiltrate Ukrainian positions.
