"Fighting continues, the situation is under control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces," Voloshyn said.
He added that he Russians have brought in additional reserves from the 55th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade to attempt and break through the Ukrainian defenses on the Novobakhmutivka-Ocheretyne axis in the area.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
