The invaders did not capture Chasiv Yar and Toretsk

The occupiers spread information that the Russian army completely captured Chasiv Yar and Toretsk in the Donetsk region. However, this information does not correspond to reality. This was reported by the spokesperson of the operational-tactical group 'Luhansk' Anastasiia Bobovnikova during a telethon broadcast.

«In Chasiv Yar, the enemy did not cross the canal, did not consolidate. Small assault groups are crossing the canal, trying to entrench themselves, and at the moment, they do not have the advantage in these cities (Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, - 'Glavkom'), the front line is stabilized at the moment, and they are not advancing,» - said the spokesperson of the OTU 'Luhansk'.

The spokesperson noted that Russia has changed its tactics on the front: «They have slightly changed tactics when it comes to the use of small assault groups. If before they attacked head-on and lost a lot of manpower, now they are focused on sabotage-reconnaissance groups and so-called secrets, when one or two individuals cross the canal, for example, in Chasiv Yar, and hide in basements, burrows, and ruined buildings».

Anastasiia Bobovnikova added that there is a noticeable decrease in the number of enemy assaults in the zone of responsibility of the operational-tactical group 'Luhansk'. However, the Russians are accumulating reserves, ammunition, and equipping their equipment with EW means.

«It is not excluded that in some Time, when they finish the preparation, the number of enemy assaults may increase in our direction,» - emphasized the spokesperson.

It should be noted that there are no surviving buildings left in Chasiv Yar, Donetsk region. However, there are still several hundred civilians in the city. This was reported by the press service representative of the 24th OMBr named after King Daniil Andrii Polukhin on 'Donbas. Realii' program.

By the way, the enemy has advanced in Chasiv Yar city in Donetsk region. The occupiers apparently crossed the canal in the southern part and approached the city borders. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom.
