"The main offensive efforts of the russians are focused on the Lyman sector of the front. They are pressing from several directions. Our defenders stopped assaults near Makiivka, where the enemy attempted to break through the Ukrainian fighters' defenses", - Lysohor reported.
He noted that the occupiers have not ceased artillery shelling of Ukrainian Armed Forces' positions and settlements, and continue to extensively use drones. "Near Balka Zhuravka alone, they directed 22 UAVs towards us within a day. An airstrike was launched on Novoiehorivka", - Lysohor added.
Vlasenko specified that the russians constantly assault Bilohorivka and try to push from the direction of the village of Zolotarivka, part of the Lysychansk community.
