Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs Zoryan Shkiryak reported this on his Facebook page.
“In Lugansk, street battles continue between ATO forces and terrorist gangs of the Russian Federation. Now maneuver groups of special forces of the National Guard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and infantry are working there,” Shkiryak wrote, emphasizing that “regular military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, paratroopers, IGRU special forces, participants in the “Chechen wars,” professional snipers, Kadyrov’s mercenaries are fighting against the Ukrainians "
In Ilovaisk, as Shkiryak reports, the cleanup also continues: the city is blocked by ATO forces.
“Currently, units of the National Guard, the special battalion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs “Donbass”, “Azov”, “Dnepr” and the 93rd motorized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces control 2/3 of the city. The administrative part of the city and high-rise buildings where terrorists, in particular DPR militants, sniper groups and GRU saboteurs, may be hiding are being studied. At night, from Donetsk, the terrorists intended to send “reinforcements” to Ilovaisk, with members of the Donetsk organized criminal gang “Oplot”, consisting of two trucks with militants,” claims Shkiryak.
As Navigator reported, yesterday the National Security and Defense Council assured that the encirclement ring in Donbass is shrinking, but they cannot always say which specific settlements are under the control of Ukrainian security forces. For example, the speaker of the Information and Analytical Center Andrei Lysenko avoided a direct answer to the question under whose control the city of Miusinsk is currently located, which previously included Ukrainian units in battle, and also could not say which area of Lugansk is controlled by the ATO forces.
