russian occupiers deploy paratroopers, special forces, and former prisoners from Storm-V units to storm the city, attacking head-on and trying to outflank it.

"The fiercest battles are ongoing around the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas canal. In an attempt to expel the Ukrainian forces, the Russians are obliterating the city using Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower systems. These TOS-1A flamethrower systems, which deploy thermobaric warheads, have a substantial 'devastating effect' because of their significantly more powerful destructive force and blast wave compared to conventional explosives of the same size," the statement added.
