He noted that Ukrainian troops are holding the Kurakhiv TPP and inflicting as much damage as they can on the enemy. Also, in this direction, the Defense Forces are destroying huge amounts of enemy equipment.
In addition, when asked about the possible use by the occupiers of the TOS-1A "Sontsepok" multiple launch rocket system in Chasovye Yar, Tregubov did not confirm this information.
As for the "Sunny" I have no confirmation yet. I must note that this weapon is, of course, quite powerful, but with a very large number of limitations. First of all, it has a rather short range and very low accuracy, so I think that if it really comes to that, we have a good chance that it will be destroyed. I am not ready to comment on whether it is currently involved. So far, no such information has been received.
According to him, there have been no advances in Chasovoe Yar, and fighting is taking place on the same lines of contact. This also applies to neighboring settlements.
