❗️The Russian army is putting even more pressure on Avdiivka, 5 more people were evacuated from the city, - the head of the MBA Barabash

"The situation is very very difficult. Unfortunately we do not feel any weakening from the enemy in our direction.

On the contrary, the enemy is pressing even harder, using more directions in assault actions, there are more tense areas in the Avdiiv direction. About 16 directions the enemy is constantly trying to keep under tension," Barabash said.

He added that around Avdiyivka on the front line hundreds of shellings occur per day, sometimes up to five hundred, in the city - about 30-40 massive shellings and 8-10 aerial bombardments on the community. Barabash noted that the Russian army uses even more equipment to carry out assaults.
