The Russian military is trying to fully control the Donbas, but the Ukrainian soldiers are doing everything to moderate the enemy. The occupiers fire at the line of confrontation.
The Russians are concentrating their forces on attempts to completely occupy the Donetsk region. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on the current situation on different fronts on the morning of September 19.
The invaders want to disrupt the active operations of the Defense Forces in certain areas. Therefore, they fire at the positions of our troops along the line of contact, regroup their units and bring in reserves. The enemy also carries out aerial reconnaissance.
