February 23, 2024Russians have occupied the village of Stepove to the northwest of Avdiivka.
This was reported by the military expert of the German publication Bild, Julian Röpke.
Russian public pages also claim the capture of Stepove.
According to the German journalist’s information, the Russians managed to establish themselves in the destroyed village. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) retreated to the village of Berdychi, 1.2 km to the west.
“Ukrainian strike raids, which previously reached the western part of Stepove, are now carried out from the eastern part of Berdychi. The Russians either built their own fortifications at the western end of Stepove, or are using trenches built by Ukrainian troops but later abandoned,” Röpke said.
Stepove and Berdychi are located on one of the three directions where the AFU are holding defense after the fall of Avdiivka.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the capture of the village of Pobeda near Marinka. The map of the Ukrainian military resource Deep State confirms this information.
