“Over the past two weeks, the Russian Armed Forces, together with units of the people's militia of the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics, have taken control of a large defense center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the village of Peski.
The echeloned and engineered defense of the nationalists has been hacked,” the minister said.
During the retreat, the Ukrainian army left a large number of weapons and wounded, Shoigu added, quoted by RIA Novosti.
On August 13, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the allied forces had taken control of the village of Peski in the DPR.
