“The arrival of reinforcements for the armed formations of Ukraine was noted in the area of \u200b\u200bthe settlement of Artemovsk,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to Marochko, most of the Ukrainian fighters were immediately sent to the zone of active hostilities in order to make up for losses.
