📝 Sergey Sreda, RIA FAN special correspondent, from the Maryinsky direction:
▪️We are leveling the front line - this destroys the enemy's defense. You can see it in Marinka.
Our fighters entrenched themselves in the school building and carried out a sweep of the private sector in the vicinity, there was no point in going further: part of our grouping pulled ahead. The delay occurred for objective reasons:
the city center is built up with apartment buildings, and the eastern part consists of the private sector. Tenements are more difficult to control and shell.
▪️Our troops have taken key transport corridors under fire control.
When I was in position, I got the impression that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had only one firing point left, from where they fire from a mortar.
▪️Of the difficult sites in Maryinka, there is only one left: a tire repair plant. The rest is a private sector and a cemetery.
