The enemy launched an active offensive, utilizing drones and other equipment.
"We are now in the Klyshchiyivka, Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, and Pokrovsk sectors The situation at the front has escalated… The weather is helping the enemy. Unfortunately, the enemy is advancing from our flanks," he said.
The Russian tactics involve combined attacks using motorcycles and other means to advance.
"There has been a significant increase in the number of enemy drones and their operators."
Earlier, Russian officers captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces referred to the current offensive as the "last push," with Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast identified as the main targets.
On June 9, Major Viktor Trehubov, Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Troop Grouping’s spokesperson said that the enemy was trying to advance on the Pokrovsk-Kostyantynivka highway to the east of Pokrovsk in an attempt to bypass the city, which is crucial for the Ukrainian defense in Donetsk Oblast.
