Quote: "We are moving forward little by little [on the Svatove-Kreminna front – ed.]. However, the Russians managed to bring a huge amount of equipment and personnel there, including newly conscripted, and convicts, and Kadyrovites, and regular troops, and part of the paratroopers who were transferred from the Kherson front.

Therefore, advancing is very difficult. A quick operation should not be expected. But I am sure that in the near future, the General Staff will please us with good news."

Details: Haidai also agreed with the statement that this winter will be crucial to "solve" the issue of the Luhansk front. He believes that at the end of winter, Ukraine’s Armed Forces will be able to reach the "border" of the oblast [with Russia] as it was before 24 February.

In addition, Haidai has reported that the Russian military is trying to wear down the Ukrainian defenders in Luhansk Oblast, throwing convicts and conscripts to the front lines.

Almost all the houses around the cities of Svatove and Kreminna are held by militants. Haidai also confirmed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are defending on the Bilohorivka front.
