Soldiers of the Vostok Battalion report difficult environmenton the Vremevsky ledge at the junction of Zaporozhye and the DPR.
“The enemy outplayed us - We are losing Urozhaynoye. For several days we withstood its onslaught, but somewhere there was a failure. We are still fighting back, but the situation is not in our favor.
The enemy has already tried to hoist the flag on the village council today, but one of the armor was blown up, the artillery worked on the rest and they pulled back - but this is a matter of time.
And although the capture of this village will cost the enemy a great price, its loss after such heroic resistance is painful for us.
It does not console, but slightly reconciles with the situation, that if he takes each village in the same way as Urozhaynoye, it will soon end. We hope that we will somehow dodge and push the enemy back – but we have to be realistic.”
