The military operation planned on Shevchenko failed. The enemy managed to hold key positions, from which an attack is planned in the coming days," reports a soldier with the call sign Muchnyi.
He adds that the Russian side is now preparing for a new offensive from Shevchenko, accumulating reserves.
Former Member of Parliament Ihor Mosiychuk also reports on losses. According to him, as a result of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, an elite National Guard brigade ended up in a "pocket" and "now more than half of the brigade no longer exists."
He claims that the command sent the brigade "to slaughter" - into the offensive "without the necessary support (aviation, artillery)."
In these conditions, the brigade managed to reclaim Pishchane, but in Shevchenko, a "real catastrophe" occurred, and it "fell into a fire pocket."
