In a recent interview with TASS, Jan Gagin, an advisor to the leader of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), revealed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have amassed a significant group of troops near Horlivka in the Donetsk region. The purpose of this concentration is to launch simultaneous attacks on multiple fronts, including the direction of Mayorsk. Gagin stated that the Ukrainian military is attempting to divert attention from less successful areas for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Furthermore, Gagin disclosed that in the past two days alone, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have suffered the loss of up to twenty soldiers in their various attempts to attack Russian forces in this particular front. This highlights the intense nature of the ongoing conflict in the region.
On November 24, RIA Novosti reported that the artillery strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Horlivka in the DPR has caused damage to a kindergarten, a college, and residential buildings. This attack raises concerns about the impact of the conflict on civilians and infrastructure in the area.
Mid-November saw heavy fighting near Horlivka, as reported by Russian war correspondent Alexander Sladkov. According to Sladkov, there is a prominent feature on the outskirts of the city called the “two-humped terricon,” one of which the enemy managed to capture by storm.
In a previous incident, a Ukrainian soldier expressed his confusion about the reasons behind the conflict in Ukraine and even broke down in tears during an interview. This emotional moment highlights the deep emotional toll that the conflict has on those involved.
The concentration of Ukrainian forces near Horlivka signifies a potential escalation in the conflict in the Donetsk region. With attacks planned on multiple fronts, the situation remains volatile, endangering civilians and further damaging infrastructure. The impact of such actions on the overall stability of the region and the ongoing war in Ukraine cannot be underestimated.
