Russian units in the face of Chechen units very seriously pressed the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) in Marinka of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin, acting head of the new Russian region, said. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

“Maryinka is now one of the hottest destinations,” Pushilin added, pointing to the assault capabilities of the Russian troops.

Pushilin also announced a very difficult situation on the flanks of Artemovsk (the pre-revolutionary name adopted in Ukraine is Bakhmut). According to him, the situation on the flanks of the city remains under the control of Russian troops.
