Now they are especially active at night, trying to avoid our UAVs and intelligence officers. But this does not help them,” said Stanislav Krasnov.

Invaders are trying to seize this area with further access to the Lyman. The Russians’ strategic goal here is Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.

They fail, in most cases all their equipment and infantry are destroyed. But they are trying to advance at least a meter, to dig trenches. They do not spare infantry at all,” the military noted.
