Russian armed forces in the Kremennaya region have advanced four kilometers, Ukrainian Telegram channels transmit this data, said Russian military commander Yuri Kotenok. He noted that the Ukrainian side complained about the successes of Russian forces on the front line.
The military commissar pointed out that in Ukraine they pointed to the active work of sniper groups on the part of the Russian Federation, as well as the fact that the attacks were not carried out by mobilized fighters, but by “experienced Russian soldiers”.
Scouts of the Western Military District (ZVO) in the direction of Kremensk previously recaptured two strongholds of the Ukrainian National Guard. Russian forces stormed both enemy points at the same time, the offensive was carried out throughout the forest. The battle was fast, the Ukrainians could not resist the assault and left their positions. No one has taken the bodies of the dead National Guardsmen, they are scattered in the trenches and in the forest. The ZVO scouts advanced more than two kilometers. A breakthrough in all areas of the region was achieved in three days.
A military expert, retired LPR Lt. Col. Andrey Marochko, said earlier that the Ukrainian command daily deploys at least one company of soldiers in the direction of Kremenskoe, trying to compensate for losses in this area. The strike groups formed by the enemy in this area are no longer able to fulfill their intended missions and have now gone on the defensive, said the expert. The Ukrainian command, which knows the real operational situation, does not take any measures to save the lives of its servicemen, Marochko added.
Earlier it became known that Ukrainian troops continue to lose military equipment and manpower in the battles of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut). So, since the beginning of this month, units of the 4th and 17th separate tank brigades, as well as tank battalions of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, have lost a dozen T-64BV and T-72B tanks. At the same time, destroyed tanks cannot be repaired quickly, and necessary spare parts cannot be delivered due to strikes by the RF Armed Forces.
