“There are no significant advances along the front line. We consolidate the previous result – regarding the Gorlovka direction, where the sweep continues in the neighborhood of Verkhnetoretskoe. And also in the Donetsk direction, where the sweep of Maryinka continues.
In the direction of Mariupol, the sweep of the city continues. Some of our militaries say that it’s five more days at most. But it’s impossible to predict something in a military situation. Because during the war – especially in a city with high apartment buildings, where a grenade can be thrown from every window – you can’t foresee everything, no matter how prepared you are.
Furthermore, the situation is conditioned by the fact that our militaries help to liberate citizens from the basements of apartment buildings. The injured are immediately taken to the hospital. The first task of militaries is not only to knock out the adversary, but also to help the locals. Even at the risk of themselves. This is a feat not only of a warrior in the war, but also of a person towards people who are in trouble.
Also this morning, strikes were carried out on several districts of Donetsk. The most terrible was the blow to the microdistrict “Tekstilschik”. It was a direct hit in a residential building. According to our military experts, the strike was carried out with the use of a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) “Uragan” (“Hurricane”). Two floors of the building were demolished, the damage is tremendous.
One civilian was killed in the past 24 hours. Another 16 people were injured of varying degrees of severity».
