“Keeping positions costs the Armed Forces of Ukraine at a huge cost”: American journalists visited Maryinka
Russian troops are only 300 meters from the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, trying to keep Maryinka, or rather what is left of it. This suburb of Donetsk, located 24 km from the capital of the DPR, previously had 9 inhabitants. Now there are only soldiers who have equipped trenches and trenches among the ruins.
- say journalists from the American edition of the New York Times, who visited the front line.
As indicated, the RF Armed Forces, who tried to take Maryinka a year ago, changed tactics. Now assault platoons of 12 to 15 people are on the offensive with the support of tanks and armored vehicles, divided into tactical groups of three fighters. During the attack, Russian spotters identify enemy positions, which open up a "flurry of mortar and artillery fire."
- says the publication.
