Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 795

Ukraine's top commander Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskii said Kyiv's troops fell back to new positions west of three villages on the eastern front, as the situation on the front line worsened. Syrskii said the "most difficult" areas were west of Russian-occupied Maryinka and northwest of Avdiivka, the town captured by Russian forces in February. Syrskii also said his forces were closely monitoring an increase in the number of Russian troops in the area of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city and just 30km (19 miles) from the Russian border. "In the most threatening directions, our troops have been reinforced by artillery and tank units," he said. Russia's Ministry of Defence said its troops had captured the village of Novobakhmutivka in the Donetsk region, about 10km (six miles) north of Avdiivka.
