The occupiers are not abandoning their goal of capturing new territories in Ukraine and are doing everything possible to achieve this.

Intensive fighting continues in the Toretsk direction, where Russian forces are actively using artillery, cluster bombs, and drones, including those with fiber optics. The occupiers have also changed their tactics in this area.

This was reported by the press officer of the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign, Yevhen Alkhimov, during a broadcast on "Suspilne."

He notes that while earlier the Russians launched attacks with large infantry groups, now they are using smaller assault groups of 2-3 soldiers trying to break through to Ukrainian positions.

The enemy is also actively using so-called "camels" – fighters who carry ammunition to support attacking groups, as well as scouts in civilian clothes who are involved in mining the terrain.

"We recorded an incident where a person in civilian clothes, carrying a bag, was mining the road, taking out anti-tank mines," Alkhimov said.

In particular, near the village of Ozaryanivka, the enemy attempts to storm Ukrainian positions daily, but has not made significant progress.

According to Alkhimov, an enemy reconnaissance and sabotage group tried to infiltrate the rear of Ukrainian forces near Krymske but was quickly destroyed by a brigade tank.

"To destroy this group, a brigade tank was called in, which eliminated the enemy in just a few minutes. Their task was to occupy a building suitable for defense in order to accumulate forces. The longer the enemy held the position, the harder it would have been to push them out," Alkhimov explained.
