Fighting continues in the area of Ocheretyne, the situation is under control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. "Pleasant" news awaits the occupiers in this direction," emphasized Tsekhotskyi.
He added that the Russian Armed Forces actively use artillery, aircraft and drones.
"The enemy is in agony, especially in recent days. They are closely monitoring what is happening in the world and understand what awaits them," Tsekhotskyi added.
For its part, the Ukrainian analytical military public Deep State says that Russia already controls about two-thirds of the settlement on both sides of the railroad.

"The leadership of the 115th Separate Mechanized Brigade is responsible for the collapse of the defense in the entire area, having allowed significant losses in killed, wounded and missing," Deep State writes.
