Leader of the self-proclaimed "LNR" Leonid Pasechnik admitted that Ukraine had accumulated sufficient forces to counterattack in the Svatove-Kreminna direction, and called the situation "difficult" for the rashists. He stated this in an interview with the propaganda media.
"The AFU are amassing sufficient reserves in the area of Svatove and Kreminna to counterattack", - separatist Telegram channels quoted Pasechnik as saying. "The situation on the line of contact remains very difficult".
He also acknowledged that the AFU are inflicting precise strikes on hospitals in which wounded occupiers are lying.
It was earlier reported that the maximum escalation was observed in the Kreminna direction in the Luhansk oblast.
