“According to our intelligence data, with the onset of darkness, Ukrainian security forces are bringing heavy artillery installations and MLRS to their positions in the area of ​​​​the settlements of Artemovsk, Svetodarskoye and Luganskoye. Thus, another attempt is being prepared to unblock the group surrounded in the “Debaltsevo cauldron,” Basurin said.

“I want to emphasize that the encirclement of the DPR militia is reliable. Its defense is layered and fortified. Therefore, any breakthrough attempts will be useless and will only lead to the mass death of the Ukrainian military,” he emphasized.
