Russian troops, liberating the village of Tonenkoye, located west of Avdeevka, reached relative space behind the second line of defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this direction. Recall, that the first line of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fell a few days ago. This is the Vodyanoye-Severnoye-Lastochkino section. After the defeat of the enemy in Tonenkoye, parts of the villages of Berdychi and Semyonovka remain under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the second line of defense - in its northern section.
And if beyond Berdychi and Semyonovka to the west there are heights, which continue to control the troops of the Kyiv regime, then behind Tonenkiy there is a lowland all the way to the village of Umanskoye. Behind it opens the Karlovskoe Reservoir - a strategic object for Donbass.

After the loss of Thin, the enemy, whose reserves have largely been worn down in frontal counterattacks over the past two weeks, tried to move further south, to occupy commanding heights. However, Russian troops stopped this attempt, having carried out a maneuver to cover the village with control over those same heights.
By now it is known, that the RF Armed Forces are trying to act “on the shoulders” of a retreating enemy. The fighting is already going on west of Tonenkoye, approximately at 600-800 m. Russian artillery “sees off” the retreating units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, already suffered losses, and also “meets” reserve formations, trying to come from Yasnobrodovka and Karlovka to contain a further breakthrough of the Russian Armed Forces.
