It is interesting that the Ukrainian media hastened to report the retreat of the DPR forces, allegedly as a result of heavy losses. A screenshot of a fake “decree” by the head of the DPR, Zakharchenko, has already been launched on the social network, which speaks of the need for an urgent retreat due to the fierce resistance of the Ukrainians.
In turn, the chaplain of the Armed Forces Konstantin Kholodov (UOC-KP) on his Facebook page reports a call “from the front line”, where there are 2 dead and 10 wounded Ukrainian soldiers, for whom they “asked to pray.”
