The Russians are trying to storm Chasiv Yar in these microdistricts and districts, and also attacked in the direction of Ivanivske, Klishchiyivka, Andriyivka – to the southwest of the town, the spokesman said.
During the attacks, the Russian invasion forces use not only infantry units, but more often use mechanized components: tanks and armored fighting vehicles, noted Voloshyn.
