Earlier on Monday, the head of the Zaporizhia public movement “We are together with Russia” Vladimir Rogov stated to RIA Novosti, that the armed forces of Ukraine have escaped from the village of Ocheretino, located in the DPR. According to him, Russian soldiers entered the village and raised Russian flags in the center of the settlement.
“If they manage to capture Oceretino, it will be very difficult for us. We have to do something to prevent that from happening. And we can already say, based on experience, that if they have already settled in the city, it will soon fall Starikov noted.
According to the officer, if the Russian troops repeat such a rapid advance again, then there is a possibility of a complete collapse of the front.
“First it was a hundred meters, then five hundred, now it is a kilometer, several kilometers. This is a very dangerous trend,” he warned.
Last week, CNN reported that the Ukrainian armed forces’ assessment of the situation is now bleaker than at any time since the conflict began, with Ukrainian troops withdrawing from key areas under airstrikes in an attempt to hold key population centers. The Ukrainian military considers the village of Ocheretino, located northwest of Avdeevka, as one of the key places, while the successes of Russian troops in this area are only the latest in a series, when at the end of March they broke through the defense positions of Ukraine in the area of the villages of Tonenkoe and Orlovka. it says in the plot.
