He shared the information on Espreso TV.

“The situation on the defense line held by the Rubizh brigade remains tense. For almost a month, the enemy has been continuing assault operations every day, trying to achieve at least some results. However, they do not actually achieve their goals, given the losses they suffer. We are destroying enemy equipment and a significant number of their personnel,” Otchenash said.

According to the crew commander, there is a certain number of Russian prisoners of war who voluntarily surrender due to their low moral and psychological state.

"The Russians are beginning to realize that they are being used as cannon fodder. Eighty percent of enemy attacks fail against our brigade's defense line, resulting in significant casualties. This is why a considerable portion of the Russian personnel now wants to survive and surrender," Otchenash emphasized.

  • Over the past day, 198 firefights took place between the two armies at the front. Russian troops are most actively attacking in the Kurakhove, Pokrovske and Lyman directions.
  • The head of the Luhansk regional military administration, Artem Lysohor, said that Russian troops are tasked with reaching the borders with Kharkiv region.
