The Ministry also reported this Tuesday on Telegram that pockets of resistance persist, especially at the thermal power plant, where the Ukrainians set up several firing positions.

It was previously stated that in the face of the push of Russian troops from the east and south of the enclave, Ukrainian forces tried to leave the city in small groups, but recently the scale and frequency of such attempts have increased significantly.

The Ministry of Defense also reported that Russian units had already taken control of most of the multi-story buildings in the western part of the city of Kurajovo and had managed to encircle the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighting near the town.
