They don’t move anywhere: Arestovich comments on the situation on the fronts [Vesti] Kharkiv direction is one of the most "hot" for today. However, according to Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the OP, the Russians, although they are active there, have absolutely no success. The adviser says "it's a permanent situation" there. "In the Kharkiv direction (the Russians) are staggering, trying to attack, somehow heroically attacking. It is clear that we are hanging on them. "The same in the Izyum direction. A constant situation. They are constantly attacking and not moving anywhere," he said in broadcast Feigin Live. Arestovich also commented on the situation in the Vysokopole region in the Kherson direction. Earlier, according to information that has not yet been confirmed, it was reported about a huge "cauldron" for Russians. The EA actually confirmed this message. “There, in fact, is a repetition of Ilovaisk for Russian troops. Not two thousand, but more than a thousand for sure. They are in tactical encirclement. Yesterday there was an attempt to break through, but was suppressed by our fire,” Arestovich said. Later we will talk about the situation in more detail. In general, "the Russian command is demoralized by what is happening in the Kherson region," Arestovich said. |
