A Russian fighter with the call sign Shepherd told RT military correspondent Stanislav Obishchenko about his decision to go to the Northern Military District after his son. He said that six months ago he came as a volunteer to the special operation zone, and earlier his son went to the North Military District.

Another fighter, call sign Max, also volunteered. He works at a forward observation post, where he encounters Ukrainian infantry who are “trying to escape or run across.” Earlier it was reported that an armored group of Ussuri paratroopers destroyed a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces infantry in a strong point near the village of Andreevka south of Artyomovsk.
