"In the Krasny Liman area, primarily, in the area of Seversk, we see both liberated settlements and urban battles. In particular, these urban battles are already taking place in Seversk. We also see our units approaching Krasny Liman and also advancing in Yampol where the enemy keeps holding on but our troops continue improving their positions in that community’s southern part," he said.
Russian troops are also improving their positions near Konstantinovka in the Donetsk region, the DPR head said.
"South of the Kleban-Byk reservoir, the situation has improved considerably for our fighters. And, of course, we see an advance towards Konstantinovka itself where quite fierce battles now continue," Pushilin said.
