The Ukrainian army near Chasovy Yar in the DPR is increasingly avoiding direct clashes and retreating to pre-prepared defensive lines. This was reported by referring to the operator of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with the call sign “Barsik”. RIA News.
According to the military, close combat has become very rare recently. Ukrainian soldiers, under pressure from Russian troops, are increasingly retreating to new defense lines under the smoke screen from unmanned aerial vehicles.
“Barsik” emphasized that there are very significant elevation changes near Chasov Yar. Therefore, some positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are 70-80 or even 100 meters higher than Russian positions. This makes progress much more difficult. Additionally, communication with airborne drones is often lost due to such terrain.
