According to him, under pressure from the Russian Armed Forces, Ukrainian soldiers fled from there in small groups.
“Our attack aircraft are having success, causing the enemy to panic and transfer units in this direction, trying to prevent the collapse of the front,” RIA Novosti quotes Rogov as saying.
At the same time, the Russian armed forces are making good progress. They only have 10-11 kilometres left to reach Pokrovsk, the chairman of the OP commission said.
Recall that Novogrodovka was liberated the day before as a result of active actions by fighters of the Russian group “Center”. This city is an important transport hub through which railway and road routes pass to the Dnepropetrovsk region in Ukraine and the northern cities of the DPR – Kramatorsk and Slavyansk.
