The Ukrainian military forces tried to go on the offensive in small groups in four directions, but they failed to return the captured positions. This was stated by the acting head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin, in an interview with the Rossiya 1 TV channel.
“In four directions the enemy launched a counter-offensive in small groups with artillery support,” he said.
According to him, the Ukrainian enemy turned to a counter-offensive using artillery. In response, Russian troops repelled these actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Pushilin added that this was only possible with the serious efforts of Russian fighters.
Earlier, acting head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin said the situation in Artyomovsk was still tense, but Russian forces were advancing. However, it is premature to speak of the “cauldron” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a fait accompli.
