The defence ministry has revealed in which areas Russia may go on the offensive

Russian troops may launch an attack near Ugledar in the near future. This is evidenced by the increased shelling of the region. The head of the joint press centre of the Tavrian defence forces, Oleksiy Dmytrashkovskyy, said this during a TV marathon on 23 April.

He said that on Saturday, 22 April, the occupants attacked Ugledar six times with the help of aircraft.

The enemy adheres to a scorched earth tactic. Houses are being destroyed, in military slang they say "dismantle houses" floor by floor. This is done to prevent our defenders from having any place to defend themselves," he said.

He stressed that the Russians are trying to flatten both Bakhmut and Ugledar.

Dmitrashkovsky believes that it is Ugledar that will be the next target of the Russian Federation.

Having lost a lot of personnel in the Avdiivka and Maryinka directions, I think the enemy will soon focus its attention again on the Ugledar direction. This is my opinion," he stressed.
