Russian forces liberate many areas in the Donetsk Republic

Moscow, SANA-The Ministry of Defense announced that the Russian Armed Forces have completed the liberation of the city of Svyatogorsk and its surroundings in the Donetsk People’s Republic from Ukrainian forces and their Nazi extremists.

Nazi extremists in Ukraine blew up a bridge on the Seversky Donets River in order to prevent the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the city of Svyatogorsk,” the ministry’s spokesman, Major-General Igor Konashenkov said in a statement on Monday, noting that members of the Ukrainian army swam to escape in the river and the Russian army did not shoot them.

Konashenkov added, “We consider the refusal of the Ukrainian military to defend the useless Kyiv regime led by ultra-nationalists as the only right thing to do and therefore they saved all their lives and we call on all the soldiers and members of the territorial defense units of Ukraine to follow the example of the soldiers in Svyatogorsk.”
