LUGANSK, October 11. /TASS/. The greatest concentration of Ukrainian forces in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration in the DPR is observed in the west of Krasny Liman (the Ukrainian name is Liman) and near Nikolayevka, military expert Andrey Marochko told TASS.
Earlier, Marochko said that Ukraine continues to concentrate forces in Slavyansk, Kramatorsk and Druzhkovka sparing no forces.
"If we are talking about the concentration of Ukrainian militants in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, and where there has recently been a very significant buildup of forces and resources, then this is precisely the area around the settlement of Nikolayevka, as well as the west of Krasny Liman - it is in these areas that the enemy is currently operating with the largest grouping and, naturally, expects to achieve certain successes by increasing the size of the advancing group. But our military personnel are engaged in fierce clashes and are thwarting all the enemy’s plans in this sector," he said.
