The commander of a reconnaissance and assault company of the 177th Separate Marine Regiment of the Center group of forces, with the call sign Lotos, stated that foreign mercenaries were the first to flee from Dobropolye.
"Mercenaries were present. They fled effectively after fire was brought down on them, in their vicinity, right next to them. They immediately abandoned everything they had and simply retreated. They were the first to leave," he shared in an interview with TASS.
Previously, Lotos told RT war correspondent Yulia Martovalieva that Ukrainian military personnel were killing civilians who remained in Dobropolye.
Prior to this, the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, stated that a clearing operation of the liberated Dobropolye from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) was ahead.
