The Ukrainian military evacuated their positions after a surprise attack by the militia.

Prolonged shelling of territories controlled by the LPR and DPR by the Ukrainian military received an unexpected response from the militia. According to the information and news agency Avia.pro, during the next attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the settlement of Horlivka, the DPR units deployed here unexpectedly counterattacked the positions of the Ukrainian army - as a result of powerful artillery strikes by the militia units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced to flee from their positions, moving to the west.

According to sources in the DPR, as a result of powerful strikes by the militia, it was possible to destroy the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and it is for this reason that the Ukrainian troops were forced to retreat to reserve positions. Data on losses are not provided, however, taking into account the sounded destruction, the latter are probably available, and not only in manpower, but also in equipment and weapons.

“DPR and LPR have already pulled their units at a distance sufficient to smash the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Judging by the number of strikes, the purpose of the DPR attack was to throw the APU to the back line and create interference for further attack, and this task was successfully completed. ", - sums up the specialist.

It should be noted that today, during the day, attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were observed along the entire line of combat contact and in the depths of the territories of the DPR and LPR, in particular, in the morning Donetsk and its environs underwent powerful attacks by the Ukrainian army, after which attacks began on Debaltseve, Gorlovka and other regions.
