[LB] The enemy supplies by rail. by Iryna Lysohor In the area of ​​Klishchiivka, which was liberated by the Defense Forces five days ago , heavy fighting continues. In particular, the head of the press service of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ilya Yevlash, said on the air of Radio Liberty (Svoboda.Ranok) near the railway, which the Russians use to receive supplies. He said that the railway is under constant artillery fire - both from the Defense Forces and the occupiers. At the same time, the Russians do not completely control the railway. "It cannot be said that they directly and completely control the railway. That is what we are now trying to establish in order to completely repel the occupiers from any direction of progress in this direction, and the railway was ours," he said. Earlier, Yevlash announced that the Bakhmut-Horlivka road was under fire control, which made logistics difficult for the enemy. The Russians also made supplies along this route. In the afternoon of September 17, the first reports appeared about the liberation of Klishchiivka, Donetsk region, by defenders. In the evening, these data were confirmed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyi. Fighters of the "Lyut" National Police Brigade, together with soldiers of the 80th ODSHBr and 5th OSHBr, as a result of heavy fighting, drove out the Russian occupiers and returned the Ukrainian flag to the liberated Klishchiivka. This settlement was captured by the enemy in January 2023, in particular by the forces of the "Wagner group". Yevlash explained that the liberation of this settlement created a bridgehead for the Armed Forces of Ukraine , which will allow for the development of a further offensive. |
