Russian forces have intensified assaults on three fronts: Toretsk, Kramatorsk, and Siversk. There, the enemy is extensively using military equipment, as shared by the spokesperson of the Luhansk Operational and Tactical Group, Anastasia Bobovnikova, during a national telethon broadcast.
According to her, the use of military equipment was previously observed only on the Siversk front, but now the Russian forces are using it on all three fronts. The enemy has also intensified its assault operations.
"Now we see that the enemy is advancing on all fronts, literally on all of them — Toretsk, Kramatorsk, and Siversk. And they are advancing with equipment, which was previously a rare occurrence. The enemy has intensified its assaults and is conducting very active operations on these fronts," said Bobovnikova.
She noted that the Defense Forces are preparing for even greater enemy activity.
"First of all, it's the use of UAVs. We are reinforcing our frontline positions where possible, and if necessary, we are also pulling in reserves. We are preparing for even more intense enemy activity on these fronts," added the spokesperson.
She also mentioned that the situation in Toretsk is currently the most difficult because, since the beginning of the day, the Russian troops have launched 11 assaults, and some of them are still ongoing.

According to the General Staff, as of 4:00 PM Kyiv time on December 24, there have been 179 combat engagements on the front. The Russian troops are most active in attacking the Pokrovsk direction.
