Marochko: The Ukrainian Armed Forces are throwing unprepared fighters into the assault in the Kupyansk direction. “The Ukrainian command threw recently mobilized citizens there at the forefront of their counterattack forces,” Marochko said.
He added that in this way the Ukrainian command is trying to reduce the losses of experienced and motivated military personnel. The retired lieutenant colonel of the Lugansk People's Republic was speaking to RIA Novosti. He said that interceptions of reports from the command of the Ukrainian troops indicate the difficult situation.
