The hottest areas at the front now are Avdiivsky, Mariinsky, Bakhmutsky. Fierce fighting continues there.

This was written on her page in the social network by Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar.

According to her, in the Avdiivka and Mariinsky directions, which are collectively called the Tavria direction, the occupiers are trying to take control of Avdiivka and Marinka.

"In the Avdiivka direction, the enemy has concentrated its main efforts and is trying to capture the city. But our fighters steadily hold the defense and control Avdiivka. In Marinka, the enemy advanced into the city, there were battles actually in the center, but our defense forces made it very difficult for the enemy to task. Faced with strong resistance in the city, the enemy directed his efforts to the flanks around the city - in the north and south. The enemy suffers significant losses in these areas - both in manpower and equipment, but does not stop," said Hanna Maliar.

Recall that the fighting in Bakhmut in the Donetsk region continues. Russian mercenaries of PMC "Wagner" have made minor advances in the city.
