As RT military correspondent Andrei Filatov reported, this allowed Russian fighters to gain a foothold at the border of the village of Orlovka.

“There are at least 30 people there... Give the Grads a proof,” says one of the Russian military officers off camera, observing the enemy’s movements.

The full version of the story will be available soon on the Telegram channel.

As Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated, after the Ukrainian Armed Forces fled from the Avdeevka defense center, the Russian group of troops did not allow them to gain a foothold on the Petrovskoye-Lastochkino-Severnoye line and continues to push the enemy in a westerly direction.
