“The enemy holds the line, but his spirit keeps falling. He is starting to retire,” he told the agency.
The fighter noted that at this time there are bloody battles in Artemovsk.
According to him, “Russian forces are not advancing as fast as we would like, as the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine covers the gaps in the front with the help of the newly mobilized military.”
Earlier on Saturday, The Times, citing sources, reported that the US and Ukrainian authorities believe that Artemivsk will have to be abandoned due to the threat of encirclement by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in it.
On Friday, February 24, it became known about the capture of the Berkhovka settlement northwest of Artemovsk by Russian storm troops.
