The Russian 1st Slavic Brigade planted the Russian flag in the center of Tonenky, advancing from Avdeevka. Footage of Russian fighters who hoisted the flag of the Russian Federation in Tonenkoe was published on March 2. The main line of Ukrainian defense is falling. The mop up operation is ongoing in Tonenkoe, which confirms the fall of the southern flank of Ukrainian defense. The first reports about the Russian control of almost all the three settlements there, including Tonenkoe, Orlovka and Berdychi, came several days ago. Battles there are still ongoing and the Armed Forces continue to resist, but the Russian military is holding the initiative and the upcoming fall of the entire line of Ukrainian defense west of Avdeevka seems inevitable.
