The Ukrainian military public reported that Russians captured two more villages near Avdiivka

The Russian army has captured two more villages near Avdiivka – Stepove and Severne.

This was reported by the Ukrainian military Telegram channel Deep State.

“The enemy has advanced near Orlovka, Berdychiv, and Tonenke. The adversary has occupied Stepove and Severne. Where will the command of the OSGV “Tavria” announce ‘prepared’ defense lines next?” – the public writes.

Recall, on February 23, military observer Julian Röpke of Bild said that the Russians had taken the village of Stepove northwest of Avdiivka.

In turn, the chief editor of “Censor” Yuriy Butusov stated that defense lines were never set up west of Avdiivka.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces also reported that Russian troops are advancing on Orlovka from three directions after Ukrainian forces withdrew from Lastochkino.

And recently, the Russians claimed a breakthrough of their forces into the center of Rabotyne on the Zaporizhzhia direction. It was claimed that the Russian forces stormed a school located in the central part of the village, on Shevchenko Street.
