Currently, there is a great struggle between the Defense Forces and the army of the Russian Federation for the control of logistics routes. Nazar Voloshyn, the spokesman of the Khortytsia operational-strategic troop group, said this in a comment to "Interfax-Ukraine". "The information that the Russians broke through to the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas channel is not true," the spokesman said. Despite unsuccessful assault actions, the enemy continues to attack the positions of the Armed Forces near Chasovoy Yar. The situation is currently under control. "The enemy continues to destroy Chasiv Yar and the surrounding settlements with both aviation and artillery. The occupiers are trying in every way to gain these commanding heights, on which Chasiv Yar is located, in order to start a further struggle for the territories and shell Kostyantynivka, Druzhkivka, Slovyansk, Kramatorsk," Voloshyn said. He also noted that in order to capture the settlement of Chasiv Yar and create conditions for further advancement to the Kramatorsk agglomeration, the enemy is trying to cross the Siverskyi Donets - Donbas border. "Everything that some analysts and experts are now commenting, that the enemy has broken through to the canal, is not true. The enemy was not there this morning. He may have stormed there, but he was not there," said the spokesman of the "Khortytsia" OSUV. Now there is a great struggle for the control of logistics routes. "The occupiers are trying to destroy all our platoon and strongholds, and the city of Chasiv Yar itself, using the scorched earth method, so that our defenders have nowhere to defend themselves. The second line of defense has been strengthened. The defense forces are ready to fight the enemy," he added. The Russian army is trying to bypass the outskirts of Chasovoy Yar near Bohdanivka and Ivanivskyi in order to bypass the city in a circle. Defense forces repulse enemy attacks.
