Russian troops approached the Krasnogorovka settlement north of Avdeevka. The assault on the fortified area of this settlement will begin in the near future. This was reported by journalist Yuri Podolyaka.
According to him, all last week Russian troops stormed the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the region, but failed to achieve tangible results. At the same time, the losses of the Russian troops turned out to be very large.
However, the troops now managed to advance in earnest and take advantageous positions north of Avdiivka. According to Yuri Podolyaka, the Russian Aerospace Forces provided serious assistance to ground troops. It is reported that the Russian air force used 500 kilogram aerial bombs in this direction.
In addition, the artillery of the Russian army had a serious impact on the Ukrainian armed forces. At the same time, the fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the settlement of Pervomayskoye is stormed by Somali units, which for several years were commanded by one of the leaders of the Donbass militia, Mikhail Tolstykh.
The capture of Avdiivka is necessary to save the capital of Donbass Donetsk from regular bombardments. It is from this colony that the Ukrainian army regularly strikes the peaceful neighborhoods of the city. In the past few days alone, Ukrainian artillery has repeatedly bombarded Donetsk with NATO-caliber shells. As a result, several civilians were killed.
