According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces “advanced” when they “had the opportunity” to do so.
On Tuesday, a military expert, retired LPR Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Marochko, said that a van of a mobile group of Ukrainian security forces exploded in the Kremennaya area on its own anti-tank mine. The reason was bad weather -plus the temperatures and the rains-, as well as a strong fog, which forced the Armed Forces to look for alternative routes between their positions.
Earlier it became known that the Russian troops took the initiative on the Svatovo-Kremennaya line. As a result of five days of active fighting, units of the 144 motorized rifle division organized a local offensive, as a result of which they advanced a kilometer and seized vantage lines.
