Why it is important: The refractory factory’s grounds provided a reliable fortification for Ukraine’s defence forces. The factory’s loss compels the soldiers to retreat into residential areas ravaged by attacks.
Details: The source says that Ukraine’s defence forces control approximately 30% of Chasiv Yar.
