DONETSK, March 20. /TASS/. Russian troops have placed several Ukrainian army’s supply routes near Avdeyevka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) under gunfire control, Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the DPR head, told TASS on Wednesday.

"Our units keep pressing the enemy in the Avdeyevka direction. They have placed several supply roads near the villages of Berdychi, Orlovka and Umanskoye under gunfire control," he said.

Russia’s strikes will considerably complicate the Ukrainian army’s logistics in that frontline area, he specified.
