The leader of the DPR said that the military units of the republic and Russia entered the city and had already begun to carry out a cleansing operation there.

“Therefore, I think there are only a few days left when Krasny Liman can be considered a liberated settlement,” Pushilin said on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel RIA Novosti.

On May 24, Pushilin announced that 28 settlements in the north of the DPR could be considered liberated.

He noted that the active phase of the liberation of the city of Krasny Lyman was underway.
