During the withdrawal, not only Russian, but also Ukrainian artillery struck the Ukrainian Armed Forces units. Apparently, the enemy command is seeking to create a barrage of fire, even at the cost of friendly fire, just to slow down the rate of advance of the Russian Armed Forces and buy more time to prepare a new line of defense.
Against the backdrop of the occupation of Tonenky and Berdych by Russian troops, two small “half-cauldrons” practically formed in the area, in which members of the Ukrainian formations who did not have time to leave were trapped. At the moment, they are being hit by fire.

However, Russian troops are unlikely to slow down. While the Ukrainian forces continue to retreat, now is the ideal moment: especially considering yesterday’s liberation of Berdych.
