The military command of the Russian occupation forces withdrew from Kremennaya to Rubizhne, Luhansk region. This city is located 15 km south of the front line.
At the same time, Kremennaya has not yet been fired, said Serhiy Gaidai, head of the Lugansk OVA, at a briefing.
“The fact that our military has already liberated Kremennaya or has already entered its outskirts is not true, but fighting is already taking place not far from Kremennaya. And I can say that the military command of a certain level, which was located in Kremennaya, has now been moved to Rubizhnoye,” he said.
According to Gaidai, the invaders hoped to organize a counteroffensive towards the Liman. Ukrainian defenders prevented the implementation of the plans of the interventionists.
"They did not succeed in a counteroffensive. But they are still pulling up reserves," the head of the UVA summed up.
