Ukrainian forces have pushed back Russian troops from the village of #Orlivka, west of #Avdiivka, but the situation on the eastern front remains difficult, Ukrainian army chief Oleksandr #Syrskyi said.

Orlivka is less than 2 km northwest of #Lastochkyne, which was recently occupied by Russian forces.

He said Russian assault units were trying to break through the defences and capture Tonenke, Orlivka, Semenivka, Berdychi and Krasnohorivka.
