OREANDA-NEWS  The armed forces of the Russian Federation are successfully advancing in the Ugledar direction, said Denis Pushilin, acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic.

The settlement of Pavlovka preceding Ugledar was liberated on November 14. Pushilin stressed that, despite the attempts of the enemy's counteroffensive, Russian servicemen are performing their tasks.

"The direction of Pavlovka and Ugledar: the movement continues anyway. We see certain successes," Pushilin said on the Rossiya 24 TV channel. He noted the successes in the Maryinsky direction, even taking into account the urban battles, which imposes additional difficulties. Pushilin added that the advance of the Russian military is also being recorded in the Avdeevsky and Artemovsky directions.

At the same time, he stressed, the Krasnolimansk direction remains difficult, where the enemy continues to attack, but at the moment unsuccessful.
