Part of the manpower and equipment of the Kyiv regime, which is trying to build up its military group near Kremennaya in the Lugansk People's Republic, was destroyed by Russian troops.

This was stated by Lieutenant Colonel of the People's Militia of the LPR, retired Andrey Marochko.

According to him, the Ukrainian command is trying to make up for the losses of its units.

“During the transfer, only 70% of military weapons and equipment reached their destination.

About 30% of the column on the march was destroyed by our artillery and army aviation, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier, RT correspondent Igor Zhdanov said that a tank crew of a separate assault battalion "Ural", which consists of volunteers, is conducting combat work near Kremennaya.

Marochko also said that the Ukrainian armed formations tried to strike at the settlement of Svatovo (LPR): “Thanks to the coordinated actions of our air defense forces, the attack was repelled.”

Last week, the acting head of the LPR, Leonid Pasechnik, stated that the situation in the area of ​​Kremennaya and Svatov on the line of contact is difficult due to the shelling of the Ukrainian army.

Zaporozhye NPP

Washington, by its actions, recognized the ownership of the Zaporizhzhya NPP by Russia, said Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the movement "We are with Russia", a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region.

“The imposition of sanctions against nuclear power plants confirms several points at once.

First, the West clearly understood that it would not be possible to capture the nuclear power plant.

Second, they recognize that the Zaporozhye NPP is an enterprise owned by the Russian Federation.

The West understood this, got used to it and resigned itself to the fact that there is nowhere to go.

If they considered the nuclear power plant to belong to the Zelensky regime, then they would not impose any sanctions, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

Earlier, the US State Department announced the imposition of sanctions against ZNPP, as well as Oleg Romanenko, General Director of the company operating the power plant.
