“I report that the enemy’s artillery was working on the oporniks all night, densely, in assortment, “Grad”, mortars, infantry fighting vehicles. There were tanks again, but it wasn’t our artillery that drove them away, like the General Staff on TV, they just shot the tanks and retreated. There was and is no help, but we hope there will be. There is an encirclement of the support forces; nearby, a growing accumulation of enemy equipment and manpower is visually determined. There is psychological pressure. There is still great doubt that the General Staff has the coordinates of our support workers,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
He emphasized that the report of the speakers of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff, and the ATO on the situation with Krivbass was “wishful thinking.” “It was especially cool to hear about the work of our artillery and the delivery of everything necessary,” noted the curator of the battalion.
Let us remind you that earlier the General Staff reported that the militia retreated near Debaltseve after the use of artillery by Krivbass fighters. “In response to militant attacks on the battalion’s positions, our artillery was used. The militants' tanks were forced to retreat. Having received a rebuff, the militants decided to turn to psychological pressure on the fighters, demanding to lay down their arms and surrender,” the General Staff said in a statement.
