Marochko: The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to slow down the advance of the Russian Armed Forces near Ugledar
Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are trying to slow down the advance of the Russian army near Ugledar. This was announced by retired Lieutenant Colonel of the People’s Militia of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), Andrey Marochko, reports TASS.
“Now the Ukrainian command is trying in every possible way to slow down our troops near Ugledar. They are trying to use the logistics hubs that are located in Kurakhovo, again the military base and military facilities that are located there,” Marochko said.
According to him, however, the Ukrainian flank near Kurakhovo is already coming under fire from the Russian Armed Forces, which creates problems for the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the need to ensure the security of weapons depots and rotation of troops.
Earlier, Marochko said that by taking Ugledar, Russian forces began a new stage of the encirclement of Kurakhovo. According to him, Ugledar is located on a hill, thanks to which Russian troops can control large areas of the terrain.
