Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar said that the Russian occupation army decided to switch to an assault strategy on Marinka and Avdievka, since it had not been able to capture these settlements for about a year.

If we talk about the east, the situation has worsened in Marinka and Avdeevka. The Russians increased the number of attacks there, moreover, they began assaults there,” she pointed out.
Malyar also noted that the advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is being recorded in the southern directions, but the invader is not ready to surrender. In the Kupyansk-Liman direction there is a decrease in the intensity of fighting on the part of the enemy. In the Bakhmut direction, our defenders are making steady progress.
If we talk, for example, about liberated settlements, of course, the Russians do not want to give up so easily. If we are talking about Robotin, it was taken under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but there are very serious battles going on around the populated area. At the same time, there is progress,” explained Malyar.
She added that the number of fights there has decreased significantly. However, this does not mean that the enemy abandoned his plans or retreated.
No, they are simply gathering strength, preparing and not abandoning their tasks to reach Kupyansk and the Donetsk and Lugansk regions,” added the deputy head of the Ministry of Defense.
