"Do it slowly but do": The Armed Forces officer explained the progress of the Russian Federation near the time ravine (video)
Volodymyr Chernyak noted that the ravine and Ivanivske are essentially a height, but they are moving in the lowland, north of Ivanovsky. This is due to the fact that the defenders of the settlement are primarily engaged in the reflection of the frontal attacks of the occupation units and they are very distracting permanent aviation and artillery shelling. "They do it slowly but they do," he said. Russian troops dump a huge number of managed aviation bombs on the city.
According to Chernyak, the Russians have another political goal - to capture the ravine until May 9. Chernyak added that the ravine for the invaders opens some additional opportunities that they did not have before. Ukrainian troops oppose this.

The enemy tried to improve the tactical position. Russian troops inflicted an aviation strike in the area of New York in the Donetsk region.
