There are currently no Russian troops in Chasov Yar. In the surrounding area, there were enemy attempts to bypass the city near the villages of Ivanovskoye and Bogdanovka.

The situation in the area of ​​Chasov Yar in the Donetsk region is complex, but controlled; there are no Russian troops in the city. This was stated by the speaker of the operational-strategic group of troops of Khortitsa Nazar Voloshin during a telethon on Monday, April 29.

According to him, although the situation has become tense, it still remains under control.

“Of course, the enemy is trying to seize the strategic initiative, to break through the front line. The enemy has concentrated his efforts in several directions, creating a significant advantage in forces and means. He attacks in several directions and even has tactical successes,” Voloshin said.

However, according to him, there are currently no Russian troops in Chasov Yar. “In the surrounding area, there were attempts by the enemy to bypass the city near the villages of Ivanovskoye and Bogdanovka. The enemy’s goal is to take the city in a vice and go around it in a circle. But all enemy attempts are suppressed by our units,” the speaker said.

According to Voloshin, over the past 24 hours, 170 mortar and artillery attacks were recorded in this direction. “The enemy continues to storm the city of Chasov Yar,” he added.

Let us remind you that earlier President Vladimir Zelensky said that Russia aims to capture Chasov Yar by May 9. If the Ukrainian troops hold out, then the Russian plans to launch a counteroffensive in June will be defeated.
