Adviser to the acting head of the DPR, Yan Gagin, said that Russian troops had entrenched themselves on the outskirts of Vugledar and were fighting for the city.

Now we are occupied with summer cottages that adjoin directly to the city, there is just a battle going on, ”RIA Novosti quotes Gagin.

At the same time, Gagin noted the disunity among the enemy personnel.
According to him, the Russian forces in this area are confronted by representatives of different units, between which there is often no communication and interaction, which turned out to be in the hands of the attacking side.
