Russian troops launched a massive assault in the direction of Levadne after capturing Vuhledar, achieving partial success by cutting into the defense of Ukrainian forces. This was stated by the spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces Vladyslav Voloshyn during a telethon, UNN reports .
As for Levadne, in this area of the battlefield after Vuhledar, the enemy increased its efforts, regrouped and conducted massive assault operations, which resulted in partial success. The enemy penetrated our defense to the depth of a platoon stronghold. We are currently taking measures to restore our position and stabilize the situation
According to him, Levadne should not be called a settlement, because it is a simple field station located in a certain lowland and it is difficult to defend it and conduct defensive actions.
“Currently, all the commanding heights in this area of the combat line are under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” he said.
