Stupun called the most challenging month for AFU soldiers in the Tavria direction
Colonel Oleksandr Shtupun, the spokesman of the joint press centre of the Defense Forces of the Tavria direction, said that in December, Ukrainian soldiers are going through the most challenging period of fighting on the indicated section of the front.
Because the enemy is storming Mariinka and Avdiivka all the time. Suffers significant losses, but moves forward. They are trying to take it before the end of the year, or there is some other deadline. But I think that in terms of the number of attacks and the pressure on our units, the last month of this year is the most difficult.
According to Oleksandr Shtupun, Ukrainian units are still north of Mariinka.
In addition, it is indicated that the Russian army began to put even more pressure on Novomykhailivka.
