"The enemy has intensified efforts". The Armed Forces of Ukraine reported details of the loss of Levadne.


The Russian army captured the village of Levadne and now measures are being taken to restore the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This was reported by the spokesman of the Southern Defense Forces, Vladyslav Voloshin.
In this section of the front line after Vuhledar, the enemy intensified efforts, regrouped and carried out massive assault actions, as a result of which he had partial success. That is, he broke through our defense to a depth of approximately a platoon strongpoint. Measures are currently being taken to restore our position in order to stabilize the situation there
Voloshin noted that Levadne can be called not a settlement, but a "simple field position" located in a lowland, which made defensive actions there difficult.
The spokesman confirmed that all commanding heights in this section are under the control of the Defense Forces and defense measures are continuing to restore the position.
Voloshin also reported that, according to intelligence, there are currently no attacking enemy groups in the south. He explained that this is logical, as the enemy is trying to change the front line to approach major regional centers, including Zaporizhzhia. This is directed not only against the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but also against the civilian population.
The Russian occupiers also captured Levadne and advanced towards Shakhtar, Novoukrainka, Bohoiavlennia, Novodariivka, and Stel'makhivka in Donetsk region, according to analysts from the Deep State project.
The enemy carried out one rocket attack using one rocket, 60 air strikes using 102 KAB, more than 550 drone kamikaze strikes and more than 3,500 shelling of our troops' positions and populated areas with various types of weapons.
Also, according to the ISW report, the Russians are advancing east of Vuhledar and in the area of Pokrovsk.
