AFU

According to the spokesman of the "Khortytsia@ Nazar Voloshyn, Russian artillery and aviation are actively operating in the Bakhmut direction. Despite this, the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces still control the situation in Chasovoy Yar, which the Russian invaders are trying to capture.

Chasiv Yar is still under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Nazar Voloshyn emphasizes that the Russian army is putting pressure on Chasiv Yar, but as of today, the situation is completely under control, because the enemy has not penetrated the city.

Assault groups drive in on infantry fighting vehicles, attack with the support of drones and artillery. Also, recently, aviation, which throws both FABs and anti-aircraft missiles at civilian infrastructure and defenders' positions, has been very annoying, — emphasizes the spokesman of the Khortytsya Defense Forces.

In addition, Nazar Voloshyn once again noted that the Russian invaders are actively using North Korean and Chinese-made ammunition to shell Chasovoy Yar and the Bakhmut direction.
