The invaders are also attempting to cut the Lysychansk-Bakhmut highway (by storming Yakovlivka and Bilohorivka in the Donetsk Oblast) and to capture the Horlivka-Popasna route (battles are being fought over the Troits'ke and Luhanske regions on the border, with 10 km of road between them remaining in Ukrainian hands).
