Yesterday, May 5, militants in the Avdiivka direction finally captured the village of Ocheretinye. This information was published on Telegram by military correspondent Bohdan Myroshnikov.
According to Miroshnikov, the Ukrainian military was forced to retreat from the area east of the pond because they were threatened by encirclement.
Russian troops were also spotted advancing towards the village of Sokol. They are trying to capture this position to finally secure the left flank of their group operating in Ocheretyne.
Other areas of the Avdiivka direction, in particular south of Pervomaiske and north of Netaylovoye, also recorded the advance of Russian troops. This information was confirmed by the Ukrainian information resource DeepState, which updated its interactive maps today at around 1 a.m.
"Netailovo is controlled by our soldiers by a third, the enemy controls half. Everything else is a gray area," writes Bohdan Miroshnikov.
