Oleksandr Shtupun, the spokesman of the United Press Center of the Defense Forces of the Tavria Region, made this announcement during the national telethon broadcast.
The spokesperson stated "the situation has not changed. The enemy continues to try to move forward. Almost all of his activity is concentrated in the Avdiivka and Marinka sectors. More than 90% of the confrontations in the past day occurred in these regions. While there was no use of aviation for airstrikes yesterday, the prevalence of kamikaze drones also notably decreased. However, the enemy continues to deploy artillery, infantry units, and armored vehicles wherever they see fit. Additionally, the russians are launching rocket volleys at highways and populated areas, aiming to disrupt our logistics."
