The Russian army is trying to surround the coal on both sides - the deputy mayor

According to Maxim Verbovsky, the army of the Russian Federation has been trying to storm Ukrainian positions from January 21. The coal is destroyed, but the invaders do not move forward. Russian troops try not to break through the defense of the coal, but to bypass it on both sides. This was reported by the deputy mayor of the city Maxim Verbovsky in a comment to "Public". On January 21, 2023, the invaders have been trying to storm Ukrainian positions in the coal.

For 8 days, the city is under constant shelling of artillery, "hail" and helicopters. According to Verbovsky, the settlement is destroyed, 100% of houses and all infrastructure were damaged. "Now the situation is stabilized, but heavy. The fighting is going daily. Everything is under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They still go to the city to go to two kilometers of two to reach the outskirts of the city at least," the deputy mayor said.

According to Verbovsky, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had partial success in some villages, but the forces of defense caused a number of blows, which forced the enemy to go to the former positions. Despite all the destruction of the coal does not leave about 500 people. Police were able to evacuate their mother with three children, but there are still three people in the settlement.
