Russian forces are making “attempts to capture the village of Ivanivske and the outskirts of Bohdanivka at any cost” in an attempt to break through to the town of Chasiv Yar in Donetsk Oblast, the Khortytsia operational-strategic group spokesperson, Nazar Voloshyn, said on national television on April 23.
The situation on the front is difficult but under the
control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with the Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Novopavlivka
sectors remaining hotspots.
“Our soldiers have been holding back the enemy for days and
stabilizing the situation in this area,” he said.
On April 14, Ukrainian Armed Forces
Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said that Russia’s top military leadership
had ordered its soldiers to capture Chasiv Yar by May 9.
Ukrainian military officials had previously warned that an offensive toward Kostiantynivka, Druzhkivka, Kramatorsk, and Slovyansk could follow if Chashiv Yar fell under Russian control.
