He stressed that the ammunition is not touched at the moment, they can be mined.

According to Russian fighters, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fought "like trained fighting dogs - they used everything they could, including dastardly tricks."

Earlier, the acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, announced the stabilization of the situation on the flanks in the Artyomovsk region.

Pushilin said that, according to him, the "peak of anxiety", when the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to hit the flanks and surround the Russian fighters in Artyomovsk, passed.

On May 21, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that the city had been completely liberated.

Former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor, said that the loss of Artyomovsk was a turning point for the Kyiv regime.
