• Pokrovsk;
• Mirnograd;
• Kurakhovo;
• Selidovo;< /li>
• Novogrodovka.

It is very important for the Russians to cut off the water so that those territories are left without it. Therefore, almost every day they hit the pumping station at the Karlovsky reservoir, – said the chairman of the Avdiivka city military-civilian administration.

“In this context, it is unacceptable for the Russians to go to the Karlovskoye reservoir and leave Avdiivka in their rear. If you strategically move towards Pokrovsk and Karlovka, then first all you need to do is encircle Avdiivka and prevent our military from hitting them in the rear later,” Barabash stated. p>Now the first army corps of the quasi-republic of the Donetsk region, as well as the 96th paratrooper division of the Russian armed forces, is located in the Avdiivka area. from all over the world.
