In Toretsk, Donetsk region, there are no surviving buildings or shelters for civilians or military. Russian troops are occupying new areas and using despicable tactics to get closer.

This was stated by Anastasia Bobovnikova, spokeswoman for The Luhansk Operational-Tactical Group, during a telethon

What is going on in Toretsk

Bobovnikova noted that the situation in Toretsk is constantly changing, and the enemy continues to storm the positions of the Defense Forces. 

According to her, there are no surviving buildings in the city and now the city resembles a "desert planet" because there are no shelters for either civilians or military. Unfortunately, this allows the enemy to advance and occupy new areas of the scorched earth.

In addition, the occupants in Toretsk use despicable tactics — they disguise themselves as civilians in order to get closer to the positions of the defense forces.

At the same time, the enemy reports heavy losses in the Toretsk sector, despite the fact that the leadership "promises the moon".  

"They increase the payments for KIA. Unfortunately, ordinary Russian soldiers are buying it and are happy to sign a contract to die in Ukraine," the spokeswoman added.

As a reminder, the Ministry of Internal Affairs recently showed gruesome footage of destroyed Toretsk. The footage shows how residential areas of the city have turned into a landfill of ruined houses.

Previously, we published what Vuhledar looks like now. After the Russian occupation, the city was reduced to ruins, with no buildings left standing and the dead buried in the yards.
