As of now, Chasiv Yar and Toretsk in the Donetsk oblast have not been captured by russian forces. This was reported by Anastasiia Bobovnikova, the spokesperson for the "Luhansk" Operational Tactical Group, on the "We-Ukraine" television channel on November 1.
"We see many reports from the russians claiming they’ve already taken these cities, that they’re moving freely there, and so on. I refute this information: in Chasiv Yar, the enemy has not crossed the canal or established control", - Bobovnikova stated.
According to her, small enemy assault groups are attempting to cross the canal and secure positions.
“But at the moment, they do not have any advantage in these cities. The line of contact is stabilized, and the russians are not advancing”, - she noted.
