"We shot back and we're leaving right away. We were right up close, practicing from about 50 m away. When there is an impact, there is a very strong impact. If they have scouts, then they have artillery," said the tank commander with the call sign Haroche.

The crew of the car aims the cannon, without slowing down, opens fire, and so on several times. Thanks to such battles, the fighters are confidently advancing along the entire sector of the front in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). It is noted that in the Red Army direction, attack aircraft have gained a foothold on the outskirts of Vladimirovka, there are successes in the Rodinsky area, and the control zone near Krasnoarmeysk is expanding. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, retreating from their positions, abandon their own wounded soldiers.

"I surrendered because our command is not helping us in any way, the losses are terrible, they don't give us anything to eat," said captured Ukrainian Armed Forces militant Mikhail Chelenko.

According to him, there are no Ukrainian soldiers willing to storm the ranks, and if they refuse, the commanders threaten and blackmail the militants.

"Those who do not storm will be attacked by bombers, tanks, and other groups will enter and shoot them," the prisoner of war added.

According to the correspondent, the prisoners admit that the situation of the Kiev formations in the Red Army area is critical. At the same time, the units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation do not stop working.
