"...On one section of the front (in the Donetsk oblast – OstroV), a decision was made to withdraw forces and assets from unfavorable positions. This not only preserved our fighters but also improved our defense. The enemy is suffering losses, and we can operate more effectively", - reported Lieutenant General Serhii Naiev, commander of a tactical group in one of the directions in the Donetsk oblast, on social media on March 18.
According to him, over the past month, thanks to the joint efforts of scouts, drone operators, artillerymen, mortar crews, tank crews, and infantry, more than 30 units of enemy armored vehicles and over 2,000 occupiers have been destroyed. This has significantly reduced the number of enemy attacks in the area.
"It is now the second month of my command over the tactical group holding the defense in one of the directions in the Donetsk oblast. Almost every day, I visit the front line, talk to the soldiers, who are the backbone of our army. These are strong and dedicated warriors who do their duty every day, despite fatigue, weather, and circumstances. ...The most important thing for the command is to preserve the lives and health of our personnel", - Naiev emphasized.
