Quote from Voloshyn: “The enemy managed to break through and establish a foothold in a certain part of this settlement (Ocheretyne – ed.). Now, the unit in which the enemy is located is under our fire control. All measures are being taken to drive the enemy out of there, and heavy fighting continues. Units of the Defenсe Forces control the situation.”
Details: Voloshyn says the Russians used four brigades of their armed forces in Ocheretyne.
“On our part, all measures are being taken to stabilise the situation on the Avdiivka front and take back control over Ocheretyne. For this purpose, additional forces and resources from the reserve have been deployed,” the spokesperson said.
At the same time, the analytical project DeepState reported the capture of the village of Berdychi by the Russians south of Ocheretyne.
Quote from DeepState: “Katsaps (derogatory term for Russians used in Ukraine – ed.) captured Berdychi by hanging their rag on the western outskirts of the village. Fighting to the west of Berdychi continues. The Defence Forces are engaged in rearguard battles. It is impossible to maintain the contact line in its current form, so the withdrawal from the northern outskirts of the village is a forced measure. But the most important thing is the preservation of [the lives of] personnel.”
Background:
- In early reports, Deepstate analysts reported that on 16 April, Russians advanced in Ocheretyne.
