Critical situation in Toretsk: battles are taking place for every house.


The operational situation in the city of Toretsk has reached a critical level, as reported by the spokesperson of the Joint Forces Operation 'Luhansk' Anastasia Bobovnikova during a telecast.
'The situation in Toretsk is currently the most difficult. It is really very tense here. Battles are being fought for every house. And it is necessary to understand that somewhere they might advance by one house - and literally the next day we are already defending that house,' - explained Bobovnikova.
According to her, the enemy has changed tactics in this region. On the northern outskirts of Toretsk, in the village of Nelipivka, the opponent has started to actively use equipment, including armored vehicles, buggies, and motorcycles, which was not observed before.
A similar situation is unfolding near Chasiv Yar, where the Russians have also begun to use armored vehicles, despite the difficulties of maneuvering in urban development.
'All this is because in urban development they are not so effective, and it is difficult to maneuver them. Therefore, they are usually not used. However, for several days now we have been observing a situation where a tank drives out opposite Chasiv Yar, fires from closed positions, and does not always return. Literally every day we have a good catch. Recently, a T-90M 'Proliv', the newest tank of the Russian Federation, was destroyed in this direction,' - emphasized Bobovnikova.
