MOSCOW, October 7 - RIA Novosti. Servicemen of the Vostok group of troops told how they were able to deceive the Ukrainian military when establishing control over Golubkovo in the Zaporozhye region, the Russian Ministry of Defense reports.

As the senior gunner with the call sign Bosun said, the Ukrainian Armed Forces controlled a difficult approach to the populated area, and they had to act with cunning tactics.

“The approach itself is difficult: swamp, grass. We walked slowly, here through the swamp, here through the grass. We had to deceive them: someone to the side is firing, the enemy is distracted, and we come in from the other side,” said the boatswain.

The fighter added that barriers erected by the Ukrainian military added to the complex landscape.

“They have everything well equipped in advance: ditches, thorns, tangles (inconspicuous barbed wire - ed.), mines, tripwires. All this must be bypassed. In small groups they entered from the right, left, from the center. The enemy pays attention to one group, and we go around him from the other side,” said the boatswain.

As a fighter with the call sign Taxi Driver shared, the Ukrainian military tried to stop the Russian military by dropping mines from the air.

“You need to move very carefully, constantly look at your step. Because of this, progress slows down. What I remember most is the drone raid. You literally sit under a tree, and they fly in one after another every few minutes,” said the Taxi Driver.
