Those who entered this wedge are self-killers: Ukrainian serviceman on Russia’s advance near Ocheretyne

He spoke about this on Espreso TV.

"Regarding the situation near Ocheretyne, the enemy's advance has a certain tactical significance for the Russians, but no more. Because we understand that those who entered this wedge are most likely self-killers who will not return from there. The answer to the question of why they went in and why they succeeded is, in my opinion, that we were constantly short of ammunition to hold back the Russian horde on the far approaches, including the village of Ocheretyne," the Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman commented.

According to him, information from Russian sources should not even be discussed, and in the last resort, should not be trusted, because Russians are used to lying and living in an environment of lies, deception, self-deception, so these are the last sources that can be trusted. 

"Regarding Ocheretyne, on April 27, in the morning there was information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that this settlement is under Ukrainian control. One third of it is occupied by the Russian horde, and work is underway to destroy it. Let's trust what comes from Ukrainian military sources regarding the situation on the frontline," said Ivan Varchenko.

• On April 27, DeepState, a Ukrainian military OSINT investigation project, issued a statement on the loss of control over the villages of Semenivka and Solovyove in Donetsk region by the Ukrainian forces.
