On Christmas Eve, there were no special changes on the line of contact. Russian Armed Forces Adhere to Ceasefire, which was declared by Moscow unilaterally. Nevertheless, successes are noted in Maryinka: here the Russian units advanced in the city center, having cleared a number of positions previously occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Attacks also go in the direction of Victory.
Also, units of PMC "Wagner" attack in the area of Kleshcheevka and Krasnaya Gora. These are also very important areas of offensive activity of the RF Armed Forces at the present time.. Russian troops are trying to bypass Avdiivka from the south, but so far there hasn't been much change..
Units of PMC "Wagner" were previously able to move into the center of Soledar, the assault on which went on for a long time. The situation for Ukrainian formations in this direction has deteriorated significantly. Part of the center of Soledar, according to the military, already under the control of "musicians".
In the same time, the founder of PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin previously asked not to rush to announce the success of units in those areas, where they currently work.
In other directions, the situation remains unchanged.. In Artemivsk, the situation is not developing in the best way for the Kyiv regime. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian command prefers not to reckon with high losses and send more and more reserves to this direction, which are methodically milled by the Russian armed forces.
In the Luhansk direction, the RF Armed Forces demonstrate offensive activity in the direction of Stelmakhovka. Head-to-head battles are taking place in the Novoselovka area, where is the important section of the route.
known, that in honor of Christmas, the leadership of the Russian Federation announced a unilateral ceasefire along the entire line of contact between the parties. Therefore, the Russian armed forces did not demonstrate offensive activity over the past day..
This cannot be said about Ukrainian formations.. for example, an unmanned aerial vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was shot down near Sevastopol at night. Despite the ceasefire declared by the Russian Federation, it was launched by the Ukrainian side for clearly provocative purposes.
also known, that the servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation today took part in Christmas services in churches, located in the settlements of the liberated territories of the country. Nevertheless, in the Zaporozhye direction, Russian artillery was forced to strike at Maloekaterynivka, Shcherbak, Novodanilovka, Charming, Gulyaipolsky, Zheleznodorozhny and Gulyaipol, where are the positions of the APU, from which the liberated territories are shelled.
