According to the spokesman, the goal of the offensive is to enter the settlement of Stepove with the subsequent elimination of Ukrainian units and consolidation in the occupied positions.

The enemy brings the personnel of these assault groups to the front lines, pulls up a certain amount of weapons there, in order to gather groups of five to seven people at certain points, and these groups will be involved in assault operations near the settlement of Stepove.

He added that a few days ago, the Russian invaders used aviation to strike Ukrainian fortifications and positions in the Stepeve area. Currently, preparatory measures are underway to continue their assault operations.
