They have already started evicting people from their apartments in order to create fortified districts from the houses, which will not allow the enemy to quickly capture the city.
Last time, Russian forces conducted several mechanized attacks in four different directions in the Donetsk region, according to analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
"Russian forces have recently carried out four mechanized attacks of varying scale on several lines of operation in Donetsk region, without achieving significant success, to test Ukraine's response after the first wave of Russian offensive efforts in northern Kharkiv region," the statement said.
The attacks took place east of Chasovoy Yar and Novopokrovsky. Also, Russian forces attacked with the number of about a company near Novomykhailivka, located southwest of Donetsk, and in the Staromayorsky area south of Velika Novosilka.
