Ukrainian air defense forces are trying to repel a Russian air attack on the capital Kiev, reported on "Telegram" Mayor Vitali Klitschko, quoted by Reuters and BTA.
Russian troops near Petrovske in Luhansk region are advancing on a front line with a width of more than 10 km, military expert Andrey Marochko reported, adding that they are striking Ukrainian armed forces simultaneously in three directions - Druzhelyubovka, Novy Mir and Petrovske.
The expert added that during the fighting, Russian troops destroyed three permanent firing points of the Ukrainian armed forces near Petrovske and advanced along the Tekuch River.
He reported that Russian fighters have formed several firing nests near Krasnoarmeysk in the Donetsk People's Republic.
“Near Krasnoarmeysk there is a positive dynamic in the advance of our troops, but much more needs to be done before the liberation of the settlement itself“, he said he.
