Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine and nationalists from the Kraken formation deployed ammunition depots and firing positions in residential buildings in Nikolaev and Kharkov.

“We were simply taken out to the Kharkov direction, in private houses we looked out of the windows at the exits of missiles.

This is in a dacha cooperative or village, ”RIA Novosti quotes Strelnikov as saying.

He added that he received tasks to observe and transmit information.

On August 8, the Ministry of Defense reported that the national formation "Kraken" had lost its combat capability as a result of the destruction of nationalist deployment centers, mass casualties and desertion.
