Kovalenko explained that there was no breakthrough in the Novenke area.
"Currently, the Russians are attempting assault actions along the border line without vehicle columns, using infantry groups. The defense forces are destroying the enemy. At the moment, there has been no breakthrough, and the fighting continues," he wrote.
Russian assault purpose
