The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine may withdraw its troops stationed in the Luhansk direction due to high personnel losses. This was announced today, December 9, by the assistant to the head of the people’s militia of the LPR Ministry of Internal Affairs Vitaly Kiselev.
“In the Lugansk operational-tactical direction – Svatovo, Kremennaya, Lisichansk, Artemovsk, Soledar – the enemy is suffering colossal losses and requests are already being made to withdraw troops to the Kramatorsk, Slavyansk region to supply them with mobilized from the west part of the Ukraine and again lead them into a meat grinder called “Donbass blitzkrieg”, as they call it, said Kiselev.
According to the military, in the Artemovsk and Soledar area of the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing up to one battalion of personnel per day.
Formerly an officer of the NM LPR Andrey Marochko reported that foreign mercenaries refused to take part in hostilities in the Artyomovsk area due to huge losses among Ukrainian troops.
