Ukrainian defenders conducted offensive operations in the Serebryanske forestry. Military forces succeeded in advancing, according to the Azov brigade.

On April 21st, the 12th Azov Assault Brigade collaborated with the 1st Operational Brigade Bureviy of the National Guard in an offensive operation.

"During joint operations, the brigades advanced 1 km in depth and 2 km along the front, completing a phase of their offensive actions in their sector," the report stated.

Azov urged the media and the public "not to create information noise" and to refrain from reporting details of the Defense Forces' advances without official confirmation from both brigades.

It's worth noting that on June 15th, Deputy Commander of Azov Svyatoslav Palamar announced that Ukrainian forces had driven Russians from positions in the Serebryanske forestry near Kremenna.

The Serebryanske forestry is located eight kilometers from Kremenna in Luhansk region. Since autumn 2022, the forest has been a site of ongoing combat operations.

Situation on the Front

In recent months, Russia has intensified its efforts on the front lines. The occupiers have managed to capture Avdiivka and continue to exert pressure in this area.

Additionally, Russian forces have focused on the city of Chasiv Yar in Donetsk region. Capturing this city would pave the way for the enemy to advance towards the Kramatorsk agglomeration.

Furthermore, on May 10th, Russian troops opened another front, launching an offensive in the northern part of Kharkiv region. Battles are ongoing in the area around the city of Vovchansk.
