Pushilin reported on the lack of AFU forces for a counteroffensive at Chasova Yar

Armed Forces Ukraine (the Ukrainian Armed Forces) do not have sufficient forces and means to launch a counteroffensive at Chasova Yar in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). This was announced on March 3 by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.

"The enemy does not have enough forces [for a counteroffensive], but this does not mean that we should be careless in this regard. We see that the enemy understands and realizes that we have a fairly serious operational scope after the liberation of Chasova Yar in several directions," he said in a comment to the TV channelhttps://vgtrk.ru/russia24 " target="_blank">"Russia 24".

According to him, the actions of the Russian military can seriously destroy the enemy's defenses, so the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying their best to "cling" to the existing positions.

Competent use of armored vehicles contributed to the success of the assault

Before that, on March 2, Pushilin said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces additional reserves are being transferred to Chasov Yar, where fighting is taking place within the city. However, this does not prevent the Russian military from moving forward. Pushilin also added that the situation in the Krasnolimansk area is now being systematically maintained.

On March 1, snipers of the Ivanovo Airborne Troops unit two Baba Yaga hexacopters and two machine-gun emplacements of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near the village of Chasyar were destroyed. It was clarified that the heavy drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were the first to be destroyed. Then, after moving to another position, two machine-gun crews and several enemy observers were eliminated.
