 Ukrainian Armed Forces has regained part of Opaitan in Donetsk Oblast. The movement took place in the area of Opaitan. The Defence Forces regained part of the settlement and had partial success in the Novo-Meosk area within a week. Our Armed Forces are now consolidating in those areas where they have managed to achieve success, she added. Earlier, Vitaly Barabash, head of Avdeevka's city military administration, said that the Ukrainian Defence Forces had taken control of a part of Opaitan south of Avdeevka in a lightning fast operation and that fighting was ongoing in the city. In general, the situation along the defence line around the city of Avdeevka remains very tense. The Russians are pressing in from the north. We have success in the south near the settlement of Opaitan. This success is very significant in my opinion. The Russians have let their guard down on the southern front. When Russians were concentrated to the north during assault actions, the Defence Forces of Ukraine held in my opinion a lightning fast storm operation and our guys finally took over a part of Opaitan, gaining a foothold there. The fighting is ongoing in the settlement. We hope that the village of Opaitan will be fully under control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shortly. Vitaly Barabash said
