The Ukrainian military administration is no longer able to organize shelters or distribute food to residents remaining there, due to “hostilities” and “the use of drones by the enemy”, a- he clarified. “We don’t really know how they manage to survive.”

Chasiv Yar is a favored target for the Russian army, because it is close to Kostyantynivka and Kramatorsk, important bases for the Ukrainian army.

Russian forces are sending “small assault groups of three to eight people” into the city, Zaporozhets said. “This tactic is effective because small, dispersed assault groups are more difficult to control and counter.”
