Ukraine's Armed Forces can destroy Russian military near Bakhmut after liberating Kreminna

He expressed his opinion on Espreso TV. 

“The Russians are trying to hold Kreminna with all their might. Since, after the liberation of Kreminna, Ukraine's Armed Forces can completely defeat the Russian troops under Bakhmut. Although Kreminna does not sound as often in the information field as Bakhmut, its liberation is motivation for us, and demotivation for the Russians,” Haidai said. 

The head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration emphasized that the Russian army continues to suffer colossal losses on the battlefield.

“The Russians have no victories on the battlefield. They are happy when they can advance a few meters. They have very huge losses. The mobilized Russians are afraid of their own. They are afraid that they will be shot if they do not move forward, or they will run away,” he added.

• On December 29, 2022, the General Staff reported that during the week the Ukrainian Defense Forces had advanced up to 2.5 km in the direction of Kreminna, and the Russians were preparing a bridgehead for retreat near Luhansk.
