Acting head of the DPR Pushilin said that Russian fighters are repelling enemy attacks and continue to move forward.
Russian troops are repelling attacks and moving forward, there is advancement in Ugledar, Maryinsky and other directions, Denis Pushilin, acting head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
“The situation on the front line remains difficult. But, nevertheless, our units continue to move forward. If we are talking about the Ugledar direction, then the enemy does not leave attempts to counterattack, but… our units repulse the attacks and move forward. Just not as fast as we would like. But every 50-100-200 meters sometimes play a significant role in the liberation of settlements,” Pushilin said.
According to him, “fights are constantly taking place in the Maryinsky direction, quite heavy fighting is being unleashed directly near the development of Maryinka itself or near what is left of this territory.”
“The enemy continues to pull up reserves, trying to recapture those positions that they lost. But, nevertheless, our units repulse these counterattacks and continue to move meter by meter directly to the village of Maryinka itself”, said the acting head of the DPR.
Pushilin clarified that there is progress in the Pervomaisky direction, which is important for the liberation of the civilian population.
“This, in turn, minimizes the chances of the enemy to reach directly to settlements. In particular, it will be safer for Donetsk. I think that Avdiivka is needed now to stop the shelling of both Donetsk and Yasinovataya,” he explained.
In the direction of Mayorsk, according to Pushilin, “positions are also held within the framework of those attempts at counterattacking actions of the enemy, and advances are also being made in the direction of Dzerzhinsky.”
“As for Artyomovsk, in the Artyomovsk direction, we now see that the fighters of the Wagner unit are clearing Yakovlevka in the Soledar direction and continue to work in the vicinity of the city of Artyomovsk in order to create the necessary conditions for a more complete clearing of Artyomovsk itself,” he stressed.
