“His command, with manic obsession, gave the order that anyone of value take positions in Rabotino,” RIA Novosti quotes Rogov.
The official added that all enemy attempts to attack the positions of the Russian Armed Forces “are crushed against our defenses and destroyed by our fire.”
Recall that in recent weeks Russian units have been actively fighting in Rabotino. Two days ago, attack planes managed to gain a foothold on one of the town’s key buildings, which was practically wiped off the face of the earth.
Now Rabotino has entered the so-called gray zone and Ukrainian militants have begun mining territory to the north, which may signal the beginning of preparations for a withdrawal.
At the same time, kyiv has already admitted that they have actually lost control over the village.
