The enemy is concentrating its efforts on conducting an offensive in the Lyman, Bakhmut and Avdiivka directions, while trying to keep the temporarily captured territories in other directions.

According to Ukrinform, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said this in its latest report published on Facebook.

The invaders continue to shell the settlements and positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces along the contact line. On December 6, the Russians launched four missile strikes and about ten attacks using multiple launch rocket systems.

According to the report, the enemy continues to hit critical infrastructure and civilian homes, violating the norms of international humanitarian Law, the laws and customs of warfare.
