Despite the huge losses, the Russian troops do not stop their assaults in the Avdiivka area of ​​the Donetsk region. Many shellings and bombings by aircraft were recorded yesterday.

Vitaliy Barabash, head of the Avdiiv city military administration, announced this on the air of the telethon.

"The gunfights do not stop around the clock. The Russians throw in large forces with infantry and armored vehicles, their losses are crazy, but this does not stop them, the assaults continue. They crawl like crazy, lie down in dozens and after a while leave again. There are a lot of them," he said Head of MBA.

According to him, in recent days, the enemy began to use less armored vehicles due to increased humidity.

We will remind, in the morning briefing, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding the defense in the Avdiivka area , inflicting significant losses on the enemy. The offensive actions of the enemy were unsuccessful in the districts of Keramik, Stepovoy, Avdiivka, Tonenko, Opytny, and Nevelsky of the Donetsk region, where the Defense Forces repelled more than 20 Russian attacks over the past day.

Last week, the Russians stepped up their offensive on Avdiivka. According to Vitaly Barabash, it is the largest since 2014.
