The Armed Forces General Staff published a report on the events in the Debaltsevsky cauldron: "The Ukrainian army stopped the Russian Armed Forces, advancing on Kharkov"
The material of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine states that in the area of the settlement of Debaltseve, up to 30% of military equipment belonging to the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed or incapacitated.
Not without a statement that the Ukrainian army opposed the "armed forces of the Russian Federation."

Named and specific units that disrupted the operation of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the "complete and unconditional peremog."
Of material:

So who was more "exhausted": the Ukrainian army or the enemy? ..
As an intermediate output GSU VSU:
In general, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine actions of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine itself on the "withdrawal of a large number of troops" were recognized as successful. Who would doubt that...
