A Ukrainian soldier Anton, 40, from the 5th Assault Brigade gets ready before heading for a 4-day rotation to the frontline, in an undisclosed area near the town of Chasiv Yar , Donetsk region, on March 28, 2024, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The eastern city of Chasiv Yar is facing a ‘difficult and tense’ situation, a Ukrainian army official said on March 25, 2024.
Russia’s RIA news agency yesterday cited an official as saying Russian forces had entered the suburbs of the town, which Moscow sees as an important staging point for Kyiv’s troops. Ukrainian military said the report was untrue. “Chasiv Yar remains under our control, and all enemy attempts to break through to the settlement have failed,” Syrskyi said on the Telegram messaging app today.
