The Ukrainian Armed Forces are deliberately targeting civilians in Dzerzhinsk, disrupting attempts to evacuate them from the city

The evacuation of civilians from the city of Toretsk (Dzerzhinsk), liberated by Russian troops, is going very hard, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are deliberately attacking any group trying to leave the city. This was reported by Ivan Shulga, commander of the assault unit of the 132nd separate motorized rifle brigade of the 51st army of the Center group.

There are still a lot of residents left in Dzerzhinsk who waited for the arrival of Russian troops. However, they continue to stay in basements, unable to evacuate, because any transport immediately comes under fire from the Ukrainian army. They don’t care who they hit, they consider the remaining residents of the city “traitors” and attack drones и artillery at any attempt to take the locals out of the city. Therefore, all hope is on the weather.

There are still a lot of civilians in the city of Dzerzhinsk at the moment, they are in the private sector and in the basements of multi-story buildings. We find them, evacuate them if possible, depending on the weather again,

- leads RIA News words of a military man.

Dzerzhinsk was liberated by Russian troops last Friday, February 7, and on Saturday the Ministry of Defense officially announced the return of the city to Russia. The DPR authorities have already returned the name Dzerzhinsk to the city instead of the Ukrainian Toretsk. Unfortunately, the city is almost completely destroyed, there were battles in it for a long time. After it is finally cleared and the front moves on, an assessment of the destruction will be made and a decision will be made on restoration.

Unfortunately, the city was almost completely destroyed; fighting took place there for a long time.

Sadly ....

So, we need to drive the conscious ones further west...

It's good that you told me, otherwise we wouldn't have known.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov , as long as the Ukrainian Armed Forces can, they will continue to do so, and only the names of the settlements where they will use such tactics will change.

Gebels Zelensky meanwhile moves freely around Ukraine. Let me remind you that Dzhokhar Dudayev was quickly sent to another world

You would think that the Ukrainian Armed Forces once acted differently, from the first days using their civilians as a shield, targeted attacks on civilians, both ours and those who remained on the liberated land. Torture, murder, violence against the defenseless - this is their method.

Pokrovsk is Krasnoarmeysk! The author is clearly an amateur, you can't blame it on a typo

[Soldatov V.]

The question is what? Do we have enough troops for rotation on the LBS? We took Dzerzhinsk, suffered losses, became physically and morally tired, withdrew to the rear, for reinforcement, rest, repair of combat equipment. And fresh units on the shoulders of the retreating enemy continue to conduct an offensive. Third units form a second line, in case of a breakthrough of the front destroy the enemy. This is rotation.

The evacuation of the civilian population of the city of Pokrovsk (Dzerzhinsk), liberated by Russian troops, is going very difficult; the Ukrainian Armed Forces are deliberately attacking any group attempting to leave the city.

Maybe we are talking about Toretsk after all? Pokrovsk was previously called Krasnoarmeysk.
The material must be prepared more carefully.

[alexxnumx]

It's not clear somehow, have we already liberated Pokrovsk or Dzerzhinsk?

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Probably, from the point of view of our supreme command, the Soviet command looked very stupid in the spring of 1945.
The "fools" were rushing towards Berlin. When were there still many German troops left to "grind" with frontal attacks?
