Currently, the Ukrainian Defense Forces control the central part of Toretsk, but the situation there changes every hour, since the Russians do not stop "meat assaults". This was stated in an interview with "Ukrainian Truth" by the commander of the 4th battalion of the 101st separate brigade of the General Staff security Bogdan Popelnukha.
"Our infantry are titans, everyone who is there is a hero. They do superhuman work, hold house after house, inflict fire damage on the enemy, inflict losses on him so that he gives up the offensive. And the Russians are endlessly moving like meat... "forward-forward, take this house," he said.
He noted that the Ukrainian fighters understand that there is a war in the country now and they need to "mow down the enemy," so they do not need to be persuaded to go to positions.
"They do not need to be told: "Vasya, you must." Vasya knows this himself. When we give the infantry a task - to enter a position or conduct an assault - then all the questions that they will ask will concern the situation," he noted.
The soldier also noted that most of the captured Russians in this direction are prisoners, and young ones at that.
"The oldest prisoner was a boy born in 1998 (that is, he is now 25 or 26 years old), the rest were born in 2001, 2003 (21-23 years old)... When you talk to them, they say: "We have a better chance of surviving when we go forward, towards you, than if we go back and say that we are the "three hundredths," " the soldier says.
He also notes that the Russians separate the mobilized as much as possible - friends, or those who were imprisoned together, "so that only those who are ready to shoot a comrade in order to survive are around them."
Popelnukha notes that if the Russians manage to capture Toretsk, then they will rush to Konstantinovka, because here there is a branching of roads that go to the main settlements of the Donetsk region.
