“On the new sector of the front in the zone of responsibility ... the assistant to the head of the Chechen Republic, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, the deputy commander of the 2nd army corps of the LPR UNM, Apta Alaudinov, is strengthening the positions of Russian troops,” Kadyrov wrote.

He noted that Alaudinov personally controls the process of erection of engineering and fortification structures.

Earlier, the acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin, said that the Russian military was advancing along the entire front line.

In addition, the Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian military hit nine command posts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and destroyed a US-made AN / TPQ-50 radar station in a day.
