The Ukrainian military retreated from the city of Popasna. According to a war correspondent Yuri Kotenokthe settlement is already controlled by detachments of the People’s Militia of the LPR, as well as by Russian forces.
The enemy represented by the 24th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses, after which he began to lose ground, and was eventually forced to retreat.
“The long-suffering city of Popasnaya was liberated – it came under the control of the allied forces of Russia and the LPR. The city was stormed by the whole world, including the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the NM of the LPR, the fighters of the “orchestra” -” PMC Wagner “- wrote Kitten in Telegram.
He noted that reports about the capture of the city appeared earlier, but after breaking through the next defensive positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy put up fierce resistance, which did not allow the offensive to develop. Now the city is indeed liberated from enemy units and “returned to its native harbor.”
