Meanwhile, the situation on the frontline in the region of Donbass remains without significant changes.
In the city of Mariupol, Russian-led forces have been developing a security operation. The vestiges of the Azov battalion remain surrounded in the Azovstal industrial area. The direct storm of the facility is delayed because Azov members keep a large number of civilian hostages on their positions.
East of Donetsk city, in the direction of Mariinka and Avdiivka, DPR units supported by Russia carry out regular artillery strikes on positions of Kyiv’s forces. Nonetheless, active offensive operations there are not ongoing as of the second half of April 24.
In the Lysichansk-Severodonetsk area, where LPR units are active, units of Kyiv’s forces are being pushed back from their positions under the threat of encirclement. Nonetheless, it is not likely that LPR troops will establish the full control over this agglomeration without a total collapse of Kyiv’s defense in the entire sector of operation.
Meanwhile, Russian forces expanded their foothold around Izum and are working to set conditions for a wider effort to advance on Slavyansk and Kramatorks (to the south of Izum).
