The threat of capture of Toretsk: why the city is so important for the occupiers - Lugansk OTG (map)

Anastasia Bobovnikov on the air of Televahorphone told about why Toretsk is important for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. According to her, Toretsk has considerable media and psychological significance for the enemy, which explains the persistence of Russian troops in this realm. "The enemy does not stop its assault actions. Toretsk is important to them. This city is important to them with a media and rather a psychological point of view.

And there are still heavy city battles," she said. The spokeswoman also emphasized that Russian troops suffered significant losses among personnel. The enemy continues to apply the tactics of "meat assaults", throwing the positions of the Ukrainian forces of infantry waves to try to break through defensive borders. "Now the Russians are losing a large number of personnel in the city, as they throw positions of defense forces to try to break through the defense," Bobovnikova added.

Thus, the situation in the Toretsk area remains tense. The Ukrainian forces continue to hold positions, causing tangible losses. According to the Armed Forces General Staff, the units of the Russian troops have tried to move 12 times in the areas of Toretsk and Shcherbinovka 12 times in the last day. According to Deepstate cartographic data, Russian forces have advanced in the east of Toretsk in the last 10 days, as well as to the south - in the neighborhood of Zabulka.

However, the northern and western part of the city remains under the control of defense forces. We will remind, according to the speaker of OTG "Lugansk" Anastasia Bobovnikova, in Toretsk fierce fighting continues for almost every house and even floor. Therefore, it is difficult to say which part of the settlement remains under the control of the Ukrainian forces and which the enemy occupied.
