A fighter of the Russian Armed Forces spoke about a surprise attack on the Ukrainian Armed Forces near January

Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces surprised the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), passing through an open field near the village of January in the Dnipropetrovsk region. A serviceman of the Vostok group of forces with the call sign "Inspector" told about this on August 14.

The military said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces pay special attention to the roads between the forest belts. At the same time, the Ukrainian soldiers did not take into account the clear field that was used during the attack.

"In order not to be shelled, it was decided to simply walk around the fields. And so we wedged into the enemy's defenses imperceptibly and with lightning speed," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

As the "Inspector" emphasized, the decision to walk through an open area became one of the key decisions during the liberation of January.
