Ukrainian army Acknowledged the withdrawal from most towns However, the unit said that it maintains a scaffold in the northern suburbs.
This profit is modest compared to the recent seizure of Russia to a nearby Ukrainian base like VUHLEDAR and KURAKHOVE, but Moscow’s tactics that Moscow adopt to take the town one after another in eastern Ukraine. I emphasize sex. Gradually confine the Ukrainian army into pinker movements and forced retreat to avoid siege.

Major SEKACH said that the Ukrainian army was fighting the river on the back, adding it that it was a very complicated strategy and had to deliver ammunition and food over the past two weeks.
“The reinforcements of the unit must cross the river, a very complicated strategy,” he said. “I know this, of course,” Russia said.

“Our drones and artillery worked to eliminate them, but drones cannot completely destroy the basement. Burms often need more than one to get the target accurate.” He said.
He added that he needed to send more troops from his troops by fighting the gradual acquisition of Russian buildings, but they lack staff, and the Russian army in the town is Ukraine. It is counted only from up to three to one.
Major Sekach said that the Ukrainian army had withdrawn under the fog hideaway and avoided major casualties and surrender. However, Paloinen questioned the claim and pointed out that the army would have had to cross the river without a bridge, and walked on at least one miles of flood plains.
