| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Korrespondent] Defense forces have had "partial success" in Andreevka, a village on Bakhmut's southern flank near Kleshchievka. Today, Deputy Minister of Defense Anna Malyar announced in advance the liberation of Andreevka, a village on the southern flank of Bakhmut near Klishchievka in the Donetsk region. The attack aircraft serving on this section of the front reacted quite aggressively to the official’s post. What is known about the situation and whether Ukrainian forces have really advanced in Andreevka, read the story. Andreevka is a strategic settlement for the de-occupation of territories south of Bakhmut, so information about the liberation of this village became resonant. However, Malyar quickly corrected her words and wrote: “Andreevka – the situation is very complex and changeable, let’s keep our fingers crossed for ours.” She explained the incident with the premature notification of the liberation of the settlement as a “communication failure” between several sources of information. “Let me clarify about the information about the liberation of Andrievka. I do not post such information without coordination and agreement with the military. Currently, there has been a communication failure between several sources of information that report directly from the scene. There has been some success in Adrievka and heavy fighting continues now.”, the official added. MILITARY REACTION The command of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade , now fighting in the Bakhmut direction, officially denied Malyar’s information, calling it “false and premature.” “Serious and heavy fighting continues in the areas of Kleshchievka and Andreevka. Such statements are harmful, threaten the lives of personnel and harm the performance of combat missions,” the brigade said in a statement. CLEANUP IN PROGRESS According to DeepState , yesterday attack aircraft of the 3rd Special Brigade actually entered the village and drove out part of the Russian troops from there, but some are still “settled underground” and are not allowing Ukrainian fighters to gain a foothold. “The 3rd Brigade has a sufficiently developed media component so that it can independently report the capture of a populated area,” one of the brigade’s fighters anonymously told the public. The community is currently designated as a gray zone on the DeepState map, but it is noted that the village is "being cleared of the enemy." This information is confirmed by the General Staff. In his evening report, he noted that as a result of the assault operations, the Defense Forces had partial success in the areas of Kleshchievka and Andreevka. Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are displacing the enemy from their positions and consolidating their positions, the report says. |
