Quote: "In Toretsk... the situation is very tense. We are fighting for every house. You have to understand that they [the Russians] might advance by one house and literally the next day, we take it back."

Details: Bobovnikova emphasised that the Russians had started using military equipment in this direction, a tactic not previously observed.

Quote: "However, now we see that on the northern outskirts of Toretsk, in the village of Nelipivka, the enemy is starting to use equipment. Over the past day, there were battles involving armoured fighting vehicles, quad bikes and motorcycles. We hadn't seen this before, but now the enemy has intensified its activity."
