According to Biletskyi, today, while the whole of Ukraine was watching the “circus” in Russia, fighters of the 1st Mechanized Battalion of the 3rd Separate Mechanized Brigade defeated the 3rd Battalion of the 57th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Federation.
“In fact, this battalion has ceased to exist as an organized military force. More than 30 killed by the enemy, a dozen prisoners, fifty wounded, so the battalion does not exist as a military force. The western bank of the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas canal has been completely cleared of the enemy,” said the colonel.
He also added that the enemy foothold on the western bank of the canal was completely cleared.
