Anastasiia Bobbyvnikova, spokesperson for the Operational Tactical Group Luhansk on national television, said that the Ukrainian army managed to stabilize the Toretsk situation in Donetsk Oblast. However, the Russian army continues concentrating its forces in the east part of the city.
Toretsk is located about 35 kilometers (20 miles north of occupied Donetsk). In recent months, the town has become one Donetsk Oblast’s most popular spots as Russian troops continue to advance in Ukraine’s eastern region.
“The situation in Toretsk is relatively stable.” The demarcation line is still unchanged. Bobovnikova stated that the enemy was still entrenched on the eastern side of the city.
“However, they are still advancing and we will defend the city as long as we can.” We are doing a great job now.
Bobovnikova said that the number of assaults in this sector on the front line has decreased slightly, which could indicate that Russian troops are taking a tactical break to replenish manpower, collect weapons, or redeploy equipment.
According to local authorities Kyiv controlled approximately 40-50% of town as of October 11, while Russia had captured all the rest.
The Ukrainian military had previously stated that fighting was taking place “at each building entrance” while Russian forces were pushing along the main Tsentralna Street (Central) from the east.
Losing Toretsk in Donetsk Oblast would be a further blow to Ukraine after its forces were forced from Vuhledar to the south. Russian forces continue to push toward Kurakhove, and Pokrovsk – a key logistic hub located about 50 kilometers (30 miles west of Toretsk).
“The situation in Toretsk is relatively stable.” “We (Ukrainian Forces) are now holding our line unchanged,” Anastasiia Bobbyvnikova, spokesperson for the Operational Tactical Group Luhansk said.
