“At the moment, there are no panic moods here, the troops are holding out, no one has broken through our defense line,” he said.

At the same time, he added that the situation in the settlement is tense, since the Ukrainian troops are constantly attempting to attack, "they are constantly probing in small groups, large groups, using equipment."

“The enemy does not choose where to shoot, he shoots at civilians, at houses, at infrastructure,” the commandant said.

Earlier, the head of the administration of the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Alexei Nikonorov, said that the situation in Krasny Liman remains tense.
