The 1st Slavic Brigade raised the Russian flag in the center of Tonenkoye, advancing from Avdeevka!

The defense line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Severnoe-Tonenkoe is especially important for the enemy. After the liberation of Avdeevka, the entire enemy front until Pervomaisky hangs on it. And therefore, to hold this line, the Ukrainian Armed Forces sent their best units in this direction - the 79th Airmobile Brigade and the 5th Mechanized Brigade.

In the Donetsk direction, heavy fighting continues on the southern outskirts of Krasnogorovka, which the Russian Armed Forces managed to get hold of a few days ago in the area of Shevchenko Street.

– In turn, the RF Armed Forces, to the extent possible, prevent the enemy from receiving fresh forces. In particular, enemy deployment points and transshipment bases in Chasov Yar and communications equipment in neighboring settlements are affected.

“In addition, there are rumors on the Internet about the capture of Bogdanovka, but this information is not confirmed by anything, and, to put it mildly, is premature.

With the loss of Bogdanovka and the Red Hours, Yar will be in an extremely vulnerable position to an assault from several directions.

– To the south, in the Kleshcheevka area, there are also battles. Apparently, here the Russian Armed Forces are not conducting offensive measures, but are wearing out the enemy with artillery strikes.
