The Ukrainian army made up for heavy losses on the Artyomovsk direction with the help of military men who were mobilised in January this year. This was reported by retired LPR lieutenant colonel Andrei Marochko.
“From Konstantinovka to the Kleshcheyevka-Kurdyumovka section, the arrival of fresh reinforcements for the battered Ukrainian units holding back the onslaught of our troops has been noted,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Marochko added that the majority of military personnel have no military experience.
Earlier, RT published a video of a sniper of the Lynx special unit working from the Artemivsk direction during the special operation.
