In recent days, the main parts of the Ukrainian 24-th separate mechanized, 72-th separate mechanized and 79-th separate air-mobile brigades and units of the border service of Ukraine managed to escape from the long-term environment with the forces of the DNR and LC in the so-called "southern boiler" at the Russian-Ukrainian border . Apparently, the “breakthrough” took place by unofficial agreements with the Russian side, and part of the military personnel of the 72 brigade and border guards, as is known, generally retreated into Russian territory. Ukrainian forces have left a significant amount of military equipment, weapons and property - as broken, and undermined, and completely whole.
