Russian forces intensified assaults in three areas, employing heavy equipment extensively, according to the Joint Forces Task Force "Lugansk."

The Russian forces have intensified assaults in three directions: Toretsk, Kramatorsk, and Severetsk. There, the occupiers are widely using equipment.

According to RBK-Ukraine, this was reported by the spokesperson of the "Luhansk" territorial community, Anastasia Bobovnikova, during a television marathon.

She stated that previously, the use of equipment was only observed in the Severetsk direction, but now the occupiers are employing it in all three areas. The enemy has also increased the intensity of their assault actions.

"Right now, we see the enemy advancing in all directions, literally on all fronts - in Toretsk, Kramatorsk, and Severetsk. They are advancing with equipment, which was a very rare occurrence before. The enemy has intensified their assaults and is conducting very active operations in these areas," Bobovnikova reported.

She noted that the Defense Forces are preparing for even greater enemy activity.

"First of all, this involves the use of UAVs. We are strengthening our front line, where possible, and if feasible, we are also bringing in reserves and reinforcing ourselves. We are preparing for even greater enemy activity in these directions," the spokesperson added.

She also mentioned that the situation in Toretsk is currently the most challenging, as since the beginning of the day, the occupiers have conducted 11 assaults, some of which are still ongoing.

According to the General Staff, as of 16:00 on December 24, there have been 179 combat encounters at the front. The Russian occupiers are most active in attacking the Pokrovsk direction.

The total losses of Russia in terms of personnel since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine have exceeded 777,000 invaders.
