The Russian Federation has deployed well-prepared soldiers to the Lyman direction

This was reported on Army TV by Anastasiya Blishchyk, press officer of the 66th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Mstislav the Brave, whose soldiers are holding the defence there. Watch here.

According to her, the Russians most often use infantry for assaults. They usually operate in pairs; sometimes these are larger groups of up to 12 people. Various assault groups coordinate their actions and attack simultaneously.

"The Russian troops are well-prepared in our direction, they are trained in shooting. These are not just fighters with weapons who don’t know what to do. It is clear that they are prepared for this in their training centers. They are taught how to shoot down drones with small arms. And sometimes they succeed," said Anastasiya Blishchyk.

She emphasized that units of the 20th and 1st Tank Armies of the Russian Federation are assaulting Ukrainian positions. They are excellently equipped. Recruits receive good motivation.

"They are very afraid because they have nowhere to retreat. Due to threats. If they refuse to go on the attack, they can be physically punished. They are either beaten or even shot," added the press officer.
