"Worse than in Bakhmut": The Armed Forces told about the situation in the coal (photo)

The situation in the city was told by "Channel 24" Yevgeny Nazarenko - a presumption of 68 of the Separate Eger Brigade named after Oleksa Dovbush, which is now in Donetsk region. According to him, the Russian military fiercely attacked the coal in Donetsk region. However, the invaders were decent from the Ukrainian military and now paused in attacks. According to him, now the situation in the carbon and on its surrounding area has stabilized.

Nazarenko recalled that the Russians launched an attack on the city more than a week ago. "The invaders climbed on the coal on three sides - stupidly and" in the forehead ". The coal is 72 brigades (a separate mechanized brigade named after Black Cossacks - ed. ). They were very competent. ", - Nazarenko said. The Russian soldiers tried to bypass the city, but they were met by the 68th Separate Eger Brigade. The Ukrainian military not only stood, but also repelled the invaders.

Now the assault of the coal has stopped, but artillery shellings are not stopped, empty and not as intense as before. "The shelling of the city continues. However, the situation is compared to the one that was more or less calm. The Russians shoot, we shoot. Artillery duels continue, but there is no assault on the enemy's side," Nazarenko said. However, now the tactics of the Armed Forces have changed, and they are fighting differently than under Bakhmut.

Mostly because of these cities there are various military units. "If in Bakhmut there is a Wagner PEC, which storms people by waves - who will come, it will come, then we did not have such," - according to Nazarenko, the coal was storming professional Russian troops, in particular. These were: as Nazarenko noted, the Russian military acted on the "Soviet book". That is, they went on the offensive on tanks and BMPs, with the support of artillery and aviation.

"When the Russians realized that the offensive did not go out, they did not continue to beat the wall of the Ukrainian army, like the Wagnerists in Bakhmut. The invaders took a break and now sit quietly, do not storm," Nazarenko said. According to the military, the Russian military rides on outdated T-62 tanks, which may indicate that they have a shortage of military equipment. "But they have enough operation of equipment and shells.

If you take the front line, the assault of the coal is a small operation. Yes, it is important, and they have found the technique that they needed," Nazarenko said. They also have a shortage of people, since the lack of military in the 155th separate brigade of the Marines was replenished with mobilized. After a successful operation in the Great Novosilka, the Ukrainian military captured four Russians. And it turned out that they were 18-19 years old and they come from Kamchatka.

Also, he said, the coal is practically destroyed by constant shelling on the Russian side. "In fact, the cities are gone. There is a worse situation than even in Bakhmut. There is nothing whole in the carbon at all," Nazarenko said. Despite this, civilians remain in the city. According to the presophitzer, there are several hundred people in the coal who refuse to go. "Maybe someone cannot leave, although evacuation was from there. But there are not very friendly to Ukraine among these people.

It is probably" zhduns "who are waiting for" liberators, "Nazarenko said, but said that they are subjected to constant danger, because shelling does not stop, albeit with less intensity. In general, according to a representative of the 68th brigade, the Russians in Donetsk region departed from tactics when the settlements were erased from the face of the earth. "They shoot in the cities, but such a fire shaft , which was in the spring and summer of 2022, now.

Russians can no longer produce 60 thousand shells a day, as it was last year. They have a lack of shells, and everyone feels it, "Nazarenko said. In early February, enemies advanced to the nearby villages of Colord, but Ukrainian defenders rejected them to previous positions. As the deputy mayor Maxim Verbovsky reported, the enemy seeks to surround the city on both sides . Nazarenko noted that the coal is a very important point because the coal is the dominant height. "It really is very high.

It is visible from 15 kilometers, if sunny weather, the coal is visible from the road. It is a dominant height, and if the Russians take possession of a carbon, the Armed Forces will have to completely build a line of defense, " - said Nazarenko. According to him, the loss of coal is undesirable. In addition, the AFU Hall is a strategic point, because it is a bridgehead for the future possible counter -offensive on Berdyansk, Mariupol and other settlements on the other side.
