Description:

The battle for Toretsk has been ongoing for nearly a year, with Russian forces capturing nearby villages and the city itself in the summer of last year. Ukrainian defenders, including soldiers from the 49th Separate Assault Battalion and the 100th Separate Mechanized Brigade, continue to hold positions and launch counterattacks, but the front has largely stalled. Russian troops have pushed to the edge of the city, and Ukrainian forces are grinding in place, struggling to maintain logistics and evacuate wounded. The city, once intact, is now largely destroyed, and its capture would open a path to Kostiantynivka.
