In the area of the settlement of Kreminna, the Armed Forces of Ukraine regularly attempt to break through the line of defense of the Russian troops in order to regain previously lost positions. This was stated by military expert, retired lieutenant colonel of the LPR Andrei Marochko.

"Despite the losses, in some areas of the terrain there may be up to five attacks per day by Ukrainian militants," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

RT military correspondent Vlad Andritsa visited the strongholds of the Russian forces near Kreminna, where the fighters of the Akhmat-Vostok special forces set up positions in the western sector of the front. According to him, the situation in this area is regular and there is no talk of a possible breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"The artillery will not cover, the soldiers are hidden, the forest is visible," said the commander of the unit with the call sign Iran, talking about his positions.
