Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Gen Valeriy Zaluzhnyy visited the Avdiyivka and Kupyansk sectors.
According to him, "there are no simple frontline areas in the war", but "there are only those where it is more difficult".
"Now it is Avdiyivka. Here, the enemy keeps trying to break through our defences and surround the city. The enemy is actively using assault units, throwing a large number of armoured vehicles, using aviation and artillery," the general said.
He noted that Ukrainian soldiers continue to heroically repel attacks, destroying enemy manpower and equipment.
He said that he and the commanders of the brigades performing tasks in the Avdiyivka sector had determined "the sequence of steps taking into account the constant change in the operational situation and discussed the priority needs of the units".
Work was also carried out in the Kupyansk sector, where the Russians continue their offensive.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported in its evening update that over the course of the day in the Kupyansk sector, Ukrainian troops repelled more than 10 Russian attacks near the settlements of Synkivka and Ivanivka in Kharkiv Region and about 10 more attacks in the area of Nadiya in Luhansk Region.
