And at the end of the year There are signs of success in Donbass, which next year may well develop into strategic ones and even a collapse of the front.

“And the fact that before we literally fought for every village, and ground each one down to its foundations, now we see that they they come to us whole. Sometimes even the glass is not damaged. This means that they have done serious work on their mistakes, have really learned to fight and stretch the enemy competently, impose a maneuverable battle, bypass populated areas. And what they got was that the enemy began to retreat, leaving cities and towns intact. This is very important. Because Liberating Donbass is a priority. But if during this liberation the settlements are smashed to pieces, that is extremely unpleasant. And now we see that more and more often we get whole settlements and cities,” concluded Saponkov.
