We were ordered to prevent the Ukrainian Armed Forces from gaining a foothold on any of the heights. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Volunteer Battalions occupied the heights of the Donetsk Ridge. The 72nd Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Donbas Battalion… were primarily concentrated in the area. According to our intelligence gathered by our Sever security officer, the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade was armed with Akatsiya self-propelled howitzers. The Ukrainian Armed Forces were unable to identify our strike positions, and they apparently did not want to strike the entire village.
