He shared this information with Espreso TV.

"Positional battles are taking place right now. A large number of enemy tanks are storming our positions. The situation is the same as in the direction of Vuhledar, only we have forests, so there are opportunities for camouflage for both us and the enemy. The intensity of the enemy's attacks is very high, huge enemy forces have been deployed here, they have a lot of personnel who are constantly storming our positions. I assure you, a lot of them are dying here; more than a hundred every day on a 2 km stretch," said a serviceman of the 15th Separate Regiment of the National Guard.

Vitaliy Bilyak emphasized that Ukrainian defenders are bravely holding the front line.

"The enemy has a large number of armoured vehicles, we do not have such a number, but despite the situation, ten to one, we are holding on and giving a crushing blow to the enemy. They first "dismantle" our positions with tanks, aircraft, cannon artillery, and then the enemy infantry comes, and we meet them as we know. Every day, two Terminator tank support fighting vehicles are sent to our position to support the Russian T-90M tanks, which is a rather powerful weapon of the Russian army. These Terminators carry 30-caliber weapons of two guns and four ATGMs (anti-tank guided missiles - ed.). Not so intensively, but they also use various kinds of chemical weapons that damage the respiratory tract and affect the heart. That is, the enemy uses any weapon, it does not follow the rules of war," Bilyak said.

The serviceman added that the number of Russian infantry dying near Kreminna is incredible.
