Former commander of the Donbass separatists and FSB officer Igor Strelkov (Girkin) stated that Ukrainian warriors knocked out 70% of the Donetsk infantry and accurately created a shock group for counterattacks near Kherson.
In his opinion, the success of the Armed Forces in the Kherson direction is real. Moreover, he praised the General Staff of the Armed Forces for such tactics.
“I am waiting for the battle for the initiative: either ours will begin to advance somewhere with fresh forces who are now hastily forming, or Ukrainians who have already created a shock group. In the Kherson direction they created it for sure … Here the fact is whether they will keep it here ours, ”said Strelkov.
