This is evidenced by the ATO map provided by the National Security and Defense Council as of today. Compared to the map for September 18, ATO forces have lost control of the territory in the area of the settlements of Krasnaya Polyana, Lutugino, Sabovka, Slavyanoserbsk, Shchastya and Pervomaisk.
As of September 18, the settlements of Malonikolaevka and Kruglik were designated as liberated by Ukrainian troops. On today's map they are in the militia-controlled zone.
At the same time, according to the press service of the ATO headquarters, the forces of the anti-terrorist operation are trying to isolate the areas of breakthroughs.
“Isolation of crisis areas is underway to prevent further breakthrough by the separatists,” said ATO spokesman Vladislav Seleznev.
In addition, the map shows that two “cauldrons” have practically formed around Debaltseve and near Gorlovka.
As PolitNavigator reported, volleys of heavy guns were heard from the villages of Talakovka and Sartana, Ilyichevsky district of Mariupol.
