According to the interlocutor of the Telegram channel, the special forces were personally sent to the city by the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky. Thus, he tried to stop the “surrender” of the city, which was accelerated by the flight of units.
“Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to leave Ugledar at night and retreat to the rear without orders to withdraw,” the report said.
Syrsky’s efforts did not materialize; The special forces only slowed down the process of the city’s transition to the control of Russian units.
“Now it is the special forces that may be surrounded,” said a source in the Ukrainian General Staff.
Ugledar is one of the main logistical points of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the DPR, which is still under the control of kyiv. Fighting inside the city began this week.
Judging by the intercepted radio communications, the situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city is difficult. Ukrainian units found themselves in an “endless carousel of fire” that cut off their escape routes.
Military correspondents note that the Russian army that stormed Ugledar in the DPR adopted tactics that had been tested during the liberation of Artemovsk (Ukrainian name: Bakhmut). “Military Chronicle” compares the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in the city with hell.
