The village of Pervomaiske, Donetsk region, is located to the west of the village of Pisky and the village of Vodyane
Röpke emphasized that the Russian invaders are advancing through the territory of the settlement from the east.

What is known about the situation in the Avdiivka area
According to Ivan Tymochka, head of the Council of Reservists of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in his comments to Channel 24 journalists, fierce battles are ongoing in the Avdiivka area.
At the same time, Tymochko noted that in the coming weeks, or even days, the question of sending additional forces to Avdiyivka, or the withdrawal of the Ukrainian military from the city, may arise.
The defense of Avdiivka was and remains successful. At the same time, information about the situation in the city is very often contradictory and is used by the enemy for information dumping. Some of our politicians can sometimes either incite panic around Avdiivka, or create some kind of euphoria, Tymochko explains.
He also assured that the Ukrainian military had calculated all threats in advance.
If the question arises of the need to leave Avdiivka, the Armed Forces will do it. Our troops have repeatedly done this, and very often returned the territory. If a choice arises: saving the lives of people or the territory, of course preference will be given to saving lives - it has always been like that, Tymochko assured.
