At the same time, about 100 Russian soldiers were killed. "There was a "cotton" in Lisichansk today. I think that we will still be pleased with information about about 100 dead non-ordinary soldiers of the second AK of the Russian Federation. These are no longer "Wagnerites", this is already the regular army of the Russian Federation. There are more than a hundred of "Wagnerites", what happened today - also almost 100 , "said the head of the region.

A good trend is Popasnaya, Lisichansk… to be continued, ” added Gaidai. |
