The spokesman for the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Group of Forces Nazar Voloshyn told Interfax-Ukraine, that severe battles are raging in the Toretsk region.
The spokesman said, “Battles in Toretsk continue in urban areas. The enemy is conducting active assault operations, pressing in this direction with all its forces and means.
“The Ukrainian Defense Forces are resisting the Russian aggressor, which is several times superior in numbers, inflicting crushing losses on it in personnel and equipment.”
He added, “The enemy’s main efforts are concentrated in the direction of Toretsk mine – north, the Central mine – south, and in the center in the direction of school No. 5. The enemy is mining logistics routes, even their own behind. And where there is no possibility of mining, they either create blockages by detonating explosions or throw improvised means to complicate movement.”
The enemy is using all forces and means to defeat us … both due to the fact that it has superior numbers and throws ‘assault meat’ into attacks with its soldiers (even disposable ones, who are sent one way to storm – if they reach a certain point, so that they can wait there and accumulate a certain number of personnel for the assault), and on the information front (uses the dissemination of its enemy IPSO),” Voloshyn said.
