周二（当地时间），一名乌克兰军方发言人告诉法新社（AFP），在遭到俄军猛烈攻击的乌
东前线要塞查西夫亚尔（Chasiv Yar），仍有超过 200 名平民留守，其多数为弱势族群。
这座位于顿涅茨克（Donetsk）地区、具重要战略意义的军事中枢，自 2022 年以来不断受
到袭击，城内建筑物几近被摧毁殆尽。
“根据军事管理部门的资料显示，目前镇内还有 229 位居民，”属于“卢甘斯克”（Lugan
sk）集团部队的发言人狄米特罗．扎波罗热茨（Dmytro Zaporozhets）在一次访问中表示。
“其中绝大部分是长者、身心障碍人士，以及照顾他们的家属，”他补充。
在俄罗斯全面入侵前，查西夫亚尔约有 12,000 人居住。
然而，扎波罗热茨指出，由于“活跃的军事行动”以及“敌方无人机的使用”，乌军军事管
理部门已无法再为余下的居民提供避难所或食物。
“不清楚他们现在是如何过活的，”扎波罗热茨说。
“唯一可以确定的是，目前天气状况——没有严寒低温——勉强让他们能在这种环境下生存
。”
若能攻下查西夫亚尔，对俄军来说会是一个重大战果，因为它邻近克斯嘉尼夫卡（Kostyant
ynivka）和克拉马托尔斯克（Kramatorsk）等更大的城镇，而这些城镇同样是乌军的重要据
点。
扎波罗热茨表示，乌克兰军方目前仍掌控著查西夫亚尔的一座旧砖厂，先前俄军尝试进攻未
果，但俄军现在正“往砖厂方向推进”。
他也提到，俄罗斯部队在这座几近全毁的城镇里行动迅速，他们使用由 3 至 8 人组成的小
型突击队，“这种战术非常有效”。
“这种战术的确带给他们一些进展，因为分散的小型突击队相较之下更难应对，”他说。
“要追踪并压制这三到四人的小组较为困难，因为他们不断移动、逃窜等。”
Over 200 Civilians Still in Ukraine’s Frontline Chasiv Yar: Army
More than 200 Ukrainian civilians, many of them vulnerable, are still in the fro
ntline stronghold of Chasiv Yar under heavy Russian assault, a military spokesma
n told AFP Tuesday.
The strategically important military hub in the eastern Donetsk region has been
under attack since 2022 and its buildings have been largely destroyed.
“According to the military administration, there are 229 people” living in the
town, Dmytro Zaporozhets, spokesman for the “Lugansk” group of forces, said i
n an interview.
“The vast majority of them are elderly people, people with disabilities, and th
ose who care for them,” he said.
Before the start of the full-scale invasion, Chasiv Yar was home to some 12,000
people.
It is no longer possible for the Ukrainian military administration to organise s
helters or distribute food to the remaining residents, Zaporozhets said, due to
“the active hostilities” and “the use of drones by the enemy“.
“It is unclear how these people exist now,” Zaporozhets added.
“The only thing we can observe is that the weather conditions — the absence of
severe frosts — allow people to survive in these conditions.”
Chasiv Yar would be a major prize for Russia’s military because it lies near th
e larger towns of Kostyantynivka and Kramatorsk, which are also important bases
for the Ukrainian military.
Ukraine still controls a former brick factory in Chasiv Yar, after a recent atte
mpted Russian assault failed, the spokesman said, but Moscow’s troops are “mov
ing in the direction of the factory”.
Russian forces are moving rapidly within the largely destroyed town, using “sma
ll assault groups of three to eight people”, Zaporozhets said, calling this tac
tic “effective”.
“This tactic brings them success, because dispersed small assault groups are ha
rder to deal with all the time,” he said.
“It is harder to control these three to four people, as they are constantly mov
ing, running away, and so on.”
