“On the radio we heard how their commanders threatened that they would slaughter their families, that they knew where their relatives lived, that it was strictly forbidden to leave their positions,” TASS quotes him.
The military man said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces use Western-made cluster munitions and grenades made in the UK, Poland, the USA and other NATO countries.
According to him, part of the enemy’s weapons fell to the Russian Armed Forces during the clearing of positions in Novomikhailovka.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the liberation of Novomikhailovka would allow Russian troops to gain wider operational space in the Ugledar direction.
