This was reported by Lieutenant Colonel Dmytro Zaporozhets, spokesman for the Luhansk operational and tactical troop grouping, in comments to Ukrinform.“In general, the average daily number of assaults in our operational zone has decreased. This could be due to the enemy focusing more of its efforts on the Pokrovsk direction,” Zaporozhets said.Despite this shift, the Russians continue to apply pressure in the Yablunivka-Oleksandro-Kalynove area.“This tactic is characterized by small infantry groups of three to four people who try to reach the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, and when the opportunity arises, they storm them, sometimes using motor vehicles, buggies, and so on,” Zaporozhets said.According to him, Russian forces are trying to amass enough personnel and resources to sustain their attacks. To overcome Ukrainian fortifications, particularly anti-tank ditches, they are resorting to using ladders.“Once we noticed a regular ladder, another time they managed to bring an iron one. They also use tree trunks with something like steps screwed into them, which they throw into anti-tank trenches to climb down and cross to the other side,” he added.On July 10, DeepState reported that the Russian occupation army had advanced in the Donetsk region, particularly in Toretsk. The enemy is also making progress in the Kharkiv region.
