Among the “guests” was Russian Colonel General Viktor Goremykin.

This week, “interesting guests” from the Russian Federation came to Russian-occupied Donetsk, writes military-political observer Alexander Kovalenko.

According to his information, a commission from the Russian Ministry of Defense arrived in the city to check the situation in the Avdiivka direction and inspect the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade. As the expert added, the commission was headed by a war criminal, the head of the Main Military-Political Directorate, Colonel General Viktor Goremykin.

“Let me remind you that the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 41st OVA was part of the Center Main Guard Force and was transferred to Avdeevka together with the 55th Motorized Rifle Brigade as part of the attack on the city. They operated mainly in the southern sector, in the Vodyanoye area, but Recently, units of the 55th Motorized Rifle Brigade have been predominantly involved in assault operations there,” the observer noted.

He suggests that, apparently, with the 74th, “something did not go according to plan” for the Russian troops: “If they had to take out a whole poor fellow from a warm office on Frunzenskaya Embankment. I wonder what happened?”

Battles for Avdievka – current

Let us recall that, as Colonel Alexander Shtupun, speaker of the joint press center of the Tauride Defense Forces, said during the telethon, the Russians have greatly intensified their combat aviation in the Avdeevka direction and are trying to destroy Ukrainian defensive positions.

Also, according to him, the Russian occupiers have significantly increased the activity of not only military aircraft, but also the number of assault and offensive operations, focusing their actions in the Avdiivka direction.
