Quote: "There have been more than 1,500 different types of bombardments over the past week, [targeting areas] from the northern to the southern part of the Chasiv Yar suburb. [The Russians] are destroying many positions using Solntsepek [multi-barrel rocket launch (MBRL) systems] and guided aerial bombs to ensure logistics along the O0506 road [the road from Bakhmut to Chasiv Yar via the settlement of Khromove – ed.]

And they started to advance and gather [troops] under the cover of First-Person View drones.

The city centre is all ours."
