Quote: "There have already been two battles with SRGs on the outskirts in the last three days. They were definitely pushed back out once. The intensity of assaults has increased: the week before last there were 48, last week – 58. The Russians are keeping up the pace in assaults, shelling, and aerial bombs. The number of FPV drones has increased."

Why this matters: The Russians are moving extremely fast on the Toretsk front. They have advanced almost 4 kilometres into Ukrainian positions in the month and a half since the offensive began.

Background: The Russians launched their offensive on Toretsk and New-York in late June 2024, taking advantage of the rotation of the 24th Brigade to the 41st Brigade.
